You'll have a few, (how shall I say this) informational leaflets between now and April.

The Polling cards will be due Early April and the Canidates I think have 4 weeks for their freepost election addresses, but most will try to time them just right and you'll get most about 7 - 10 days before the actual Election.

No because the formula was worked out years ago. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... on#p265177" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Addressed items: delivery to take place within 3 working days from receipt (including Saturdays). (Except certain elections relating to Europe where it may be extended to 7 days from receipt.)
Un-addressed items: delivery to take place within 7 working days from receipt (including Saturdays).
The impact of delivering this letter traffic will be excluded from normal workload calculations.
All other operational issues will be dealt with at local level in line with the IR Framework.

4) Payments
All existing local payments covering the delivery of election material as stated in paragraph 2 above will remain in place, and in accordance with this agreement, with the following exceptions.
1. The minimum payment for delivering election material will be 3p per item.
2. The maximum payment for delivering election material will be 6.6p per item.
3. All hours based schemes will be converted to pence per item schemes and then the criteria in 1 and 2 above will be applied. Where delivery offices have introduced a SDD revision since the last delivery of election material then the following formula will be applied prior to the criteria in 1 and 2 above being applied.

still doesn't make it right though!
we in our office have been on to our rep for years with no joy at getting more than 3p
different tiers of payment for the same job with union endorsement is wrong
