What type of contract and contract hours have you been offered?
Permanent, fixed term, what hrs, amount, times of attendance.
And when's your starting date? looking for those within Oct and beyond, thanks.

Just trying to gauge how things are going.
Please keep on topic for easy reading.
Thanks guys, good luck and welcome!

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.

Hi!!

Been offered 24 hours on a permanent contract.

No idea when I can start as I’ve been in the process of security checks a while now.. and things don’t seem to be moving forward!

Best wishes to all the new starts

Probation for 6 months even though the contact states it is a temp position.

24 hours, 4 days. (6 hours a day)

But always down for 5 days. Which means I need to put ATD overtime down everyday. Else I think the system will assume working five days is 4 hours 48 minutes a day, instead of 6 hours.

I also always start early and finish late. Overtime is a minefield.
I'm turning purple!

Started September 1st, 30 hour contract.
Not done less than 35 hours in any week so far, as asked to come in with the "full timers" almost every day. Last week racked up 15 hours overtime between early starts and going over (if they will put the new person on rural solo duties he's never been shown...)
