Shift allowance?

Post by Marlbro »

Hi there.
I have a question about shift allowances. I've already looked in the Way Forward Agreement and don't know if I qualify.
I have just started as part time MGV driver, one of my shifts finishes after 9pm and one starts at 4am. Am I entitled to any kind of shift allowance?
Also, do MGV drivers get suppliments like collections and posties?

Thanks in advance. :thumbup

Royal Mail are now recruiting MGV Drivers at Perth Delivery Office. You need to hold a full driving licence in your current address which enables you to drive vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes (category C1) and have no more than six penalty points on your licence. Your will also need to hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence and undertake a driving assessment and further training as required. Job reference number RML054882.

Hours of Work:
Full time (40 hours per week)

Attendance times can be a mixed shift basis as this a duty to cover reserves & annual leave etc so there are 3 potential shift patterns -

(6.00am - 2.00pm, 11.30am - 7.30pm or 11.59pm - 7.59am across Monday to Sunday)

Salary: £11.09 per hour overtime and shift allowance if applicable
According to the above, yes you are entitled to shift allowance. Not sure about the early, but the late finish should earn you about £30 I think.
