Sacking of SN shift manager ??

[human1]

We heard this morning that a shift manager and 3 postpersons got sack in Swindon mail centre for over time fraud, is it correct ?

[hans solo]

what about before time fraud

[human1]

OK... lets have some details from any Swindon mail centre staff. I understand that overtime fiddle was (is) long running issue in Swindon mail centre i-e in weekend shift. Romour is that atleast 24 postpersons are under investigation but so for one shift manager and 3 postpersons got the chop.

generally managers get away with this kind of thing..hope i am wrong on this occasion (if it is proven to be true of course!)

Aparently on Friday, Royal Mail thretend to take this shift manager and 3 postpersons to court ... but they all resigned . What next ? What will happen to other 24 staff who was involved in this overtime fraud ? Any Swindon staff know what kind of overtime fraud was ?

'twas an ex-Oxford manager on weekends.

He was given the choice of resign or face prosecution apparently - I'd have prosecuted regardless.

Previously he's reckoned himself to be safe enough to get away with anything owing to having too much dirt on people, clearly not got as much as he thought.

3 confirmed staff out the door, the rest facing looking into are an ever changing number with rumours.

Turn up, sign in, bugger off home kind of fraud - presumably with the manager taking cash to let them do it.

Overbooking OT hourage was commonplace at a very large London MC amongst managers at weekends for many years ... they justified it to themselves when the highly lucrative OT rates were thrown away by the CMA and although it was blatant fraud there was never a manager brought up on a discipline charge.

Even the ex.Ox manager resigned but IB and police is stil envoled.. he was with police and IB last Friday (22/3/13) Anybody from Swindon knows whats going on ....!!!!

You're probably better asking this on Facebook as any answer on here could break the rules especially if they are derogatory or libelous.

Technically its against the rules of RMC to name anyone without a link, but thats more to prove the news item/story is in the public domain. As so far no real personal information has been disclosed I will leave it as it is. However, any replies must be by PM and noto on the Public side of the forums.

Police raided his house, confiscated his laptop, mobile phone and found over £100000 ( one hundred thousands) cash . Its NOT a crime to keep so much cash in the house but police wants to know where the hell this cash come from ??
