If you are doing the training you should get an allowance for doing it.
In which agreement is "the real pace of doing a delivery?"
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

If it was not for that comment I would tell you how much your non school allowance
Or maybe you told your Dom where to go or maybe I've read it wrong and you are within agreed standards ?

I have just had a new starter with me for 3 days. I mentioned to my DOM about the non school training allowance and was told "never heard of it" i told him i think you put it through on the P2P and showed him the relevant piece of the agreement but he says there is nothing on P2P about it. Does anybody know how i get this allowance?
Tell him that you will need to ask FURTHER up the line as your not sure why the person being paid isn't doing the job that RM pays them for and neither is your manager. I'm sure he will suddenly find out that your due extra. Tozzers.

Also It was this lads first day on his own today.(a very busy Wednesday and to make matters worse the mail was late to our office) after i had finished my round i went and found him to see how he was doing. Its a rural delivery and at 3.35 he had completed less than half! Felt really sorry for him. It it common practice to teach a new starter a rural as their first duty? he's training to be a day off cover.

Yep he was totally exhausted. He hadn't had a break, no food or drink for 9 hours! I phoned the DOM (who was on a day off today) and got him to phone him. Apparently he carried on till 5 and bought back nearly half. Surely for a new starter it would be better to learn a 4 hour town round rather than a 6 hour rural!

It's a really shoddy thing to do to someone for sure and, like you say, first day out on your own it'd be better to break your cherry with a lighter duty.
I bet DOMs like this wonder why they have a high turn over of new staff.
So.. is the non school training allowance still active for training or coaching new starters . And how my h is it... how do I go about applying for it? Etc
or
