Election Poll cards

Do Agency/Casuals get paid the extra for delivering poll cards?

Also can someone let us no if the d2ds that come from the parties attract a payment, as a friend of mine showed me part of the new agreement with the union that says we don't get paid for them, but do receive payment for the poll cards

To assist Branches with any questions on what ‘does and does not’ attract payment, the department have summarised the following:

All Poll Cards attract the Unit Payments

D2D items do not attract the payments

Postal Ballot Packs do not attract the payments

Candidate literature both addressed and unaddressed, which is identified accordingly will attract the payments – Candidate mail is expected in Scotland and Wales only

Materials attracting unit payments and posted in traffic streams such as Retail/ DSA/wholesale should be delivered in line with normal delivery product specification standards, although where this is not possible due to local circumstances, sensible conversations should take place between the individual and their manager (with CWU Local Rep if required) to agree alternative solutions inclusive of other means of delivery or carrying over to the next day etc.

Claiming of pressure overtime is not permitted for delivery of Election Material. This does not detract from claiming of overtime for normal excess mails on delivery

how do they know how long extra it takes as today was mad for parcels and mail anyway plus election cards meant getting out later than normal we only delivered them where we had mail anyway so I just claimed as normal but got out 45 minutes later than normal I
