I was wondering, what are the rules when you have 2 separate jobs, both with Royal Mail?
As far as I know, you are allowed to have 2 separate jobs, but is there a maximum number of hours you can do? Do you also have to have a minimum amount of hours between one job and the next, and a minimum amount of time off?

Your not allowed to have duel Royal Mail contracts. A few years ago this was fairly common as some have a delivery contract and a late Mail Centre contract. Royal Mail issued a policy to remove anyone having a duel contract.

I'm sure that's not true - I've been told by managers before that it's OK to do 2 jobs, and I'm sure I once rang HR and they confirmed it's OK.

No it is not ok there is a Royal Mail policy to do away with duel contracts. There are a range of employment issues with duel contracts ranging from :
Annual leave but only one contract
Paid annual leave on either one or combined contracts
WTD
Sick leave on one contract or both
MTSF
Pension
The list is endless.

A duel contract?
When you meet the DOM at dawn with pistols drawn on some Godforsaken heath?
The DOM, the rep, the UKIP candidate, the shape-shifting lizard?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You CAN do 2 jobs, only 1 of them can be with Royal Mail as per the terms Dingo has posted.chris6482 wrote:dingo wrote:Your not allowed to have duel Royal Mail contracts.

And shall we have a spanner in the works post regarding a driving job if you already drive for the business?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

You can do two jobs, but on one contract. So if you deliver in the morning and do late collections in the afternoon / evening, you will have a contract with either function and the other would be treated as overtime.
