Is there any kind of agreement or disagreement on this taking place?

Re: Part timers recruited against full time vacancies
Agreement regarding the resourcing of vacancies from ltb 61/07
VACANCIES AT DELIVERY OFFICES
CLARIFICATION FROM THE CWU AND ROYAL MAIL
Introduction
Further to the letter from Royal Mail’s Operations Director this joint clarification
provides a simple process for delivery offices to follow when dealing with vacancies.
All vacancies should be dealt with in line with the national agreements covering
efficiency savings, Way Forward (Way of Working) and the Industrial Relations
Framework. Both parties confirm that there is no embargo on either full time or part
time recruitment,
Process
1. All impending vacancies should be identified as far in advance as possible,
and in sufficient time to fully utilise the IR Framework.
2. Once identified they should form part of the local weekly resourcing meetings
and/or monthly resourcing/strategic involvement meetings. Time should be
set aside at the weekly resourcing meetings to discuss longer term resourcing
issues not just the week ahead.
3. Where a mutually acceptable solution cannot be found at the resourcing
meeting then formal proposals regarding the vacancies should be exchanged
and the full terms of the IR Framework followed. Both parties will commit to
concluding the process within 4 weeks.
4. There will be isolated incidences when unplanned vacancies occur. These
should be the exception rather than the rule. When they occur offices will in
the short term cover the workload in line with normal local procedures and
national agreements. The long term solution should then be agreed in line
with process above with each case dealt with on its individual merits.
Efficiency
Where unplanned vacancies occur and the units agree to fill vacancies on reduced
hourage while the process above is being exhausted, any savings agreed in the final
deal will be backdated. Savings will be accrued in line with the efficiency agreement
from the date the reduced hours are introduced.
