I just tell my DOM before I leave I will do X amount of overtime & if I am going to run over that I'll be cutting off & bringing the rest back. Yes it's frowned upon & afew arguments arise from time to time but we aren't obliged to do any over time at all if we don't want to, I will usually work 1.30 over my 3pm finish time anything after that is a cut off. As far as the official stance it's seems to be make up the rules in different offices

Under normal circumstances, if correct procedures have been followed no conduct action will be taken against individuals if it is not possible to deliver all the mail by their scheduled finish time. Where failure to complete is a regular occurrence on a delivery, a joint examination will be undertaken to understand why this is and how the issue will be jointly addressed.

3 DELIVERY

3.1 PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT

a) Where an employee feels that on completion of preparation he/she may experience difficulty in completing his/her delivery within the authorised time allotted, he/she should approach his/her manager as soon as possible before setting out on delivery. It will be for the manager to discuss any problem and advise the employee what particular action should be taken.

b) When an individual has requested assistance on delivery, but the manager feels that assistance is not required, this decision along with the advice given to the employee will be recorded and associated with the daily traffic volume records. The employee can have access to this record and may ask to see it prior to commencement of his/her delivery. In addition to recording the employee’s request, the employee will be instructed to ring his/her local manager prior to a specified time or as soon as possible if full completion of delivery workload within the time allotted proves not to be possible.

3.2 AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF DELIVERY

a) If an individual is prevented from completing their delivery for any reason, it is essential that this is reported immediately either by returning to the office or by telephone (telephone costs will be refunded). A written record will be kept.

b) All employees should be informed of the local authorised arrangements, in writing, preferably in plastic card form if available.

4. GENERAL

a) Employees must be made aware that mail must NEVER be taken home at the end of a delivery. Correct endorsement procedures and correct use of the pouching off wallet, if appropriate, will avoid this.

b) Although the main aim will be to avoid the circumstances that may pose operational difficulties to an employee and to find ways of overcoming any potential problem at a very early stage, it is also important that all employees are made fully aware of the implications of delaying mail and possible consequences.

c) Measures shall be put in place to advise staff on the course of action to be taken when difficulties arise when managers are unavailable.

It's just "low level B&H" at the end of the day - the Manager's are hoping that you'll say "Oh well we've took it out we may as well do it". Simple answer - either refuse to take it out or ring up at 1230 and tell 'em it's coming back - saw it happen this morning - and I hope to God they didn't fall into the trap ...

Do not refuse to take work out just tell the manager you think will not have time to complete because of the heavy work load they should then give you instruction on what to do.
