As far as i know there has never been an agreement on lapsing dates. Lapsing is an ongoing thing to take you up to your finish time IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SPARE.

Never seen a week without laps, even when I've been spare and had nothing to do. Instead of sending me out with a lapsed round, they have me killing off dead mail and cleaning frames.
I'm turning purple!

My arguement is if IPS is being done early on overtime then that is saying there is to much work, but that overtime in turn accelerates everyone out the door giving leeway for lapsing, so surely if nobody came in early on IPS overtime people get out slightly later and finishing nearer time with no scope for lapsing.

i totally agree but it just falls on deaf ears and that includes the cwu reps in the area as well .Marshamp11 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2022, 18:27My arguement is if IPS is being done early on overtime then that is saying there is to much work, but that overtime in turn accelerates everyone out the door giving leeway for lapsing, so surely if nobody came in early on IPS overtime people get out slightly later and finishing nearer time with no scope for lapsing.

Same at our office , most of the IPS is done on overtime to accommodate delivery collapsing

Re: Summer lapsing start and finish .
We probably spend more in OT trying to get the mail sorted earlier, than it would cost to pay an extra 2 bodies to deliver the lapse duties.
