This seems to vary with office. When they look at duty times they normally only include the actual delivery time and not inc travel. Or HCT duties are planned for a max 4hr 5 mins (delivery time) which is prob around the 4hrs 30min actual time from in and back.

I ve seen some offices planned on just 3 hr 45 mins delivery time. :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

If you are getting out too early, then why is the night shift in?
You clearly don't need it.
And if you keep it in, then either you have very long delivery spans to fill your working day or you end up with more p/t staff to decrease the efficiency of your indoor operation.

Is this a Christmas night shift thing?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I don't get it, they're paying OT for nights which enables you to do more outside work?

Why not just put the staff who are on nights on the collapsed walks instead?
