Broken Service
Why aren't posties with Broken years service added to their total years service especially when it comes to seniority. It makes no sense that someone who started in say 2015 is more senior to someone who started in 2001 but left for a few years came back and then left again and came back again. Surely you should still have seniority over someone who started in 2015.

Re: Broken Service
This is one of the stipulations in the way forward agreement, strangely enough previous service counts towards holiday entitlement though, I agree it would have been simpler to include all previous service for seniority reasons but nothing seems to be straightforward in this firm.

Re: Broken Service
How can you prove you have worked there before, as after a couple of years it seems the records are cleared, talking from experience, as I found it hard to prove I had worked there before. If anyone can throw light on how to prove it it would be appreciated as I would be entitled to 6 weeks now

Re: Broken Service
No you left so of course you wont have more seniority. Theyve not kept the job open while youve decided where you want to work and if theres been big gap between you coming back theyve got to shell out retraining you up to modern standard.

Re: Broken Service
I don't care about seniority, as all jobs are s**t anyway I just want the 6 weeks holiday.

Re: Broken Service
Your best bet is contact HR and ask for a pension statement
That will reference any previous service
You can also send Royal Mail a Data Subject Access Request and specifically request periods of previous service be released
All previous service counts towards annual leave entitlement

Re: Broken Service
I thought holiday entitlement wasnt affected by breaks in service? Just seniority
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

You lose seniority.
But your service is added up for holiday purposes.

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.
