Re: do i have to sign for the cage duty
locker duty should have been put up for signing seperately, its a specialised duty and should be resourced in a different way, there is a skills test and after that the most senior person who passed gets the job, worth thinking about though, if you dont take that are you going to be landed as a leave reserve with irregular days off?iceman1277 wrote:Tomorrow it is my turn to sign for a the new duty i am the last full timer on the list number 51 after me its all park time staff.

Re: do i have to sign for the cage duty
Yes you do.
The alternative is to move into a full time vacancy in another office.
As has already been posted this duty is normally ring fenced and kept out of any repick.
Who did it before and why have they given up ?

The locker duty in itself isn't a specialised duty but the callers and book room are.

Re: do i have to sign for the cage duty
would you rather drop hours? if you want to walk that much drop your hours and pick a PT walk - otherwise suck it up and do the locker duty until you get a chance to pick off iticeman1277 wrote:I didnt take the job as a postman then to be told i have to work inside behind a computer.bringon4dayweeks wrote:they say locker is a specialised duty but with a bit of training im sure you will be okzx135 wrote:locker duty should have been put up for signing seperately, its a specialised duty and should be resourced in a different way, there is a skills test and after that the most senior person who passed gets the job, worth thinking about though, if you dont take that are you going to be landed as a leave reserve with irregular days off?iceman1277 wrote:Tomorrow it is my turn to sign for a the new duty i am the last full timer on the list number 51 after me its all park time staff.

Re: do i have to sign for the cage duty
so tomorrow its my turn to sign and the only duty that is full time is the cage. i don't mind the duty but its all the other work like doing all the payroll and over time and all the other crap the manager pass over to you. please help don't wont to work indoor. its a bit unfair park timers have been made up and got there own rounds .shouldn't park timers been made up if there where any spare full time rounds left.

Re: do i have to sign for the cage duty
This is a strange scenario: an office with no full time reserve duty... Its curious!
Locker rooms are usually highly desired... Some of the locker room folks do get to go out on delivery sometimes - cut offs and serious understaffing etc
Well.
Have you had the Revision and now in shared vans and do you have a part time/full time combinations for the shared duties?

we are having the revision now and we have rest day cover reserve which all all gone but cant see any duty to cover full timers when on annual leave. they think part timers will do the full time rounds when people are on hoilday.
