i know where your coming from re getting extra long weekend with the tue
but a lot of staff want cash as they dont trust rm mgmt to get their owed day back
also expecting tue to be so quiet there insisting one person covers 2 duties

Hopefully the one postie doing two duties will work to his time and leave the DOM to deliver the rest.

I thought Tuesday would be like a Monday mail volume wise next week?

Today is my rostered day off and I have given the manager 2 options, pay me or give me a specific day off that I requested. They made no mention of this unagreed policy you mention.

One grievance I was successful with was this subject, so I recommend going that route. The grievance will be against the policy rather than the manager, but they may not see it that way.

They have put down my day off as Monday....as I am a newbie, when I first saw this I was like WTF....

I have not been in to see management and obviously I won't see them until Tuesday....

One Postie said to me that I should automatically be paid an extra days work in my pay at the end of next week.... anyone know if this is true?

It may be a local thing only your office does.

But you are allowed to either ask for a day in lieu added to your leave entitlement, another day off that week, or overtime payment instead.

Friday was my day off and I have asked for a specific day off later in the year, or overtime payment - I am waiting for a decision.

The RM pay system won't allow anyone to be paid for a day they are not physically at work because it is a bank holiday. So you can either arrange another day off that is agreeable & available on the AL list or carry it over to the following year.

Nothing is guaranteed but as a rule of thumb the Tuesday following a bank holiday Monday will be like a standard Monday.
The Wednesday will be quiet somewhat like a usual Tuesday.
The remainder of the week will be busier than usual to catch up .
The duty hours for each day are not usually changed so you may overrun on the Tuesday with possible delays due to any WTLL and weekly van checks.
