They are having another week of talks.
Have you been in cold storage?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Well this the place to be(website) cos not a word came from our bosses except the usual "mail still to sort ". screens are locked away in the conference rooms , only to be abused when we go out. No communication within rm , very poor. :evil/mad
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

heard a rumour today that the sticking point in delivery is about banking hours when you go over your time. instead of overtime you bank your hours and take it as leave

Taking it as leave is all very well provided the time is recorded and has a % added which corresponds to the premium at which ED is paid. My experience of this type of system is that invariably the employee loses out due in part to the fact that it is often nigh on impossible to book the owed leave and you need to build up 4 or 8 hours to accrue a half or full day.

Far better to book ED ... paid the following week all done and dusted with less room for error. If employees want extra leave they can purchase it.

Find it hard to believe there's any truth in this as it's hard enough to book time off as it is

Doubt it, in my experience the people who come in early do it to finish early, they don't go over their time
