Couple of questions....

[Rooly180]

Hi, i am looking to apply for a 20 hour contract (part time 6 month) with RM but have a couple of questions.

1. What is the over time pay rate on a 20 hours contract and how would i work it out?
2. What is a delivery supplement? i assume its delivering junk mail?
3. Do many part time contracts get made into perm ones?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, from my experience.

1. You are paid an hourly rate and then the delivery supplement (pro-rata for being part time). These are added together and that is the hourly rate that you will get up to a total of 39 hours (so for your first 19 hours of o/t). That is done so that if you worked a 39 hour week you will not get paid more than a full timer. As an example: if the hourly rate is £8 and a delivery sup is £10/week for 20 hours, the delivery sup works out at 50p/hour. So all pay up to 39 hours is £8.50 an hour.

2. The delivery supplement is for working in a delivery job, it is not specifically for the "door to door" items but it replaced an allowance that was.

3. Depends on the circumstances in the particular office. I did just over two years before being made permanent, I am the next on the list for full time but there is no saying how long it will be until I get it.

Much appreciated. Just another quick question hours are 8-2 5 days a week on a 20 hour contract but I work it out at 30 hours?

Thanks
