poll cards etc
This will be my first time delivering the poll cards so was just wondering how is best to do it.
Iv been told you have 2 days to deliver them and you have to count how many you deliver including political leaflets.
What is the most efficient way to do it, how do you work out what ones you are going to deliver each day? Do you just put them in the frame where your going the first day, or do a section of the frame each day? Do they come pre sorted in order?
And whats the best way to count how many you deliver? Do you count them as you put them in the frame or out on delivery?

seems offices have different rules, usually we times the total delivery points by 2.5, then by 3p for an average,maximus12 wrote:This will be my first time delivering the poll cards so was just wondering how is best to do it.

Re: poll cards etc
Depends on local agreements.
We get 6p an item.
3 working days to deliver addressed
7 working days unaddressed.
You can count poll cards but if you have access to a letter scales you can weigh them and work it out that way. A poll card weighs about 6.4 grams.

I'm assuming that they would need to give you prior notice of that?The_Wax_Man wrote:This would be correct.framusjsx wrote:ive been told we cant claim overtime but we cant cut off either... is this right?

Re: poll cards etc
Im going to be on a round where I would usually go over anyway so I'm assuming I can still claim ot, as I would on a normal day as it's a big round. Not been told otherwise anyway, infact not been told much at all!!!

Re: poll cards etc
locally they came through as DSA and so got sequenced and the local DO staff would have to have delivered them in 1 day. From another thread in the forums different returning officers use different streams for when they post them

Re: poll cards etc
Afraid it is if you agree to delivering them, you can of course opt out. If you extend on a regular basis then it may pay to opt out.framusjsx wrote:ive been told we cant claim overtime but we cant cut off either... is this right?
