Duty swap?

[avenger]

Is there any official procedure for duty swaps?
either between walk posties or between walk posties and indoor duties
to muddy the waters. say a swap is between a walk postie and PHG. then in a resign the PHG becomes a specialist duty
would the postie who swapped into the PHG duty retain it regardless of seniority?

Don't know if its official or not but in our office the manager said that two people could swap but if one of them left then the other would revert back to their original duty.

Perhaps someone else knows if this is actually an official policy.

I wonder if there even is an official policy

hmmm,seems a bit ambiguous

Both parties are committed to introducing new ways of working throughout the business by April 2008. In order to achieve this there will be a trial in four offices per AGM area covering the following:
New arrangements to cover for one another and develop sensible options to absorb absences, and increased workload, where time exists within normal hours
To ensure all paid work hours are utilised
To creates a working environment where employees, CWU reps and managers feel valued and motivated.
This flexibility could also facilitate arrangements for employees to make their own arrangements to cover and swap duties (subject to approval from their manager) – within contracted hours, providing quality of service is not adversely affected and there are no additional costs to the business.
Local ideas will be generated, agreed and deployed through trials by early January 2008. The trials will be nationally evaluated to identify the widest range of options for national roll out.
Local offices will be entitled to the 1.5% pay increase from 7 April 2008 subject to deployment of these new arrangements. Any offices where deployment is deferred will receive the additional 1.5% from the date of deployment

I think your best bet would be to do an "Ask Moya"because what ever answer you would get back your Dom would have to abide by it.
