job ratio

Post by martin the green »

what if any is the ratio between full and part time jobs in each office.
i know there is a national agreed figure but our office seems to be getting more and more part time staff

In my unit we are below the agreed 75/25 split at around 65/35. But we have been told that within 2 or 3 years that will be reversed and the unit will be majoritively PT.

Unfortunately there is no local limit on the PT/FT split nationally - only on the national split. Hopefully that makes sense.

So true - but we don't know what the national ratio is - dingo posted some meaningless figures a while ago which purported to support the claim that the ratio has been maintained; if it has I may be prepared for the Town Hall steps. :cuppa TBH I doubt the Union has even raised the subject and I seriously doubt they would get a true figure from RM and I'm certain the union hasn't the faintest idea not least of all because they wouldn't have access to what the state of play of non-union members is.

I suspect that, in deliveries, is probably closer to a national reality than the agreed 75/25%.

40/60 Ft/Pt :sad:
I'm the only full timer in my section, the rest are on full time duties but get paid less!
About a year ago an acting manager from another office told me that they plan to "get rid of more of you full timers" :crazy:
Nice to feel wanted!
