Lapsing 25 hr contract

Post by Postiebear »

Do other offices still do lapsing and if so do 25 hr contract workers do the lapsing?

Your delivery times are the same as other contracts...........so if you have the time then you should be lapsing.

I personally don't have time so I rarely get to do any lapsing :wink:

I'm a low hours contract (but doing almost full time most weeks at the moment) and the round I am covering does 15 mins lapsing a day on the frame next to me. It is not without its problems. More errors, poor communication between lapsers and disagreements over who does what mean that the service people get when out on delivery is hit and miss at best.

Not true. In our office we get 35 mins less time over full timers!
