Polling Cards vs Part Timers

Post by NewPostieUK »

There is no connection between Delivery Supplement and Political Leaflets.

You get so-many pence per leaflet, We count ours and fill in a form and get paid. Unless it's a really easy tuesday and we don't do lapsing, then we get paid overtime for going over on the days we deliver these leaflets / cards.

Normal procedure applies if you don't want the overtime.

Thanks for that. I will be armed with the info when they arrive.
Cant think why DOM would not know this. Think he may be up to no good.

I get £13 per week x 1.5 = £19.50
Full timers get £20 x 1.5 = £30.00
dom is not the only one with duff info, there is no such thing as a d2d payment.

just be careful and try and find out what the union has agreed as hour unit payment for election material before you complain as the amount varies from 1.5p to 6p per item, if your unit amount is only 2 or 3 then you may actually be better off with the method being used where by your delivery office supplement is used as a multiplier(note it's a delivery office supplement and has nothing to do with delivery of d2d)

1 day to deliver them?
It was my day off when they came in and my duty got put onto overtime. None were delivered.
I was faced with mountains off them today and kicked up a fuss. Got told to take the the cards for the houses that had d2ds today and that was it :chuckle

Shambles.
I'll be cutting off tomorrow by the looks of things...
