walking back to the office
Is there a limit on time/ distance you can walk back to the office from your delivery? I`ve got to do a walk which I will be taken to in a van & use one of the big red trolleys. At the end of it its a 1.5 mile/ half hour walk back to the office, can i insist that I`m picked up? Ta.

Re: walking back to the office
You can insist all you like....
But there is nothing stopping you asking ....
We have sometimes had posties ringing in to be picked up over a mile away and a van has gone out and picked them up...
Not a Major issue for us.......

Take a bus, keep your receipt and claim it?
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: walking back to the office
Years agao they RM use to give us bus tickets( like Vouchers) to use to get back to the office,
Then crew buses came in and eventually went
Though I would expect the postie in question may have trouble with the HCT on the bus,
Still I would lock the hct up and get the driver to pick it up later.

Re: walking back to the office
The start point and finish point of a HCT duty should be within 1 mile of the office.
Either there is something wrong with the planning of the duty and it isn't supposed to be a HCT duty or there is something wrong with your measuring.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: walking back to the office
Does it really matter if you still finish on time, RM are paying for your time and if they want you to walk for 30 minutes then so be it.

Re: walking back to the office
Why would it be a joke? If it takes extra traveling time then it takes less delivering time, I'm not saying it's perfect but it's the only real defence we have, working our hours.hampshireman wrote:Now i would assume that this is a p*ss take.

Re: walking back to the office
Our office now has converted some van shares to HTC duties. The main reason being is that we wanted it that way because we could basically go back do doing just your own walk. Some of us now complete and others do more than with the LWT.clashcityrocker wrote:The start point and finish point of a HCT duty should be within 1 mile of the office.

I imagine the HCT's are left out there like ours are.
