Delivery staff, are you going out on delivery today?

[Jpro747]

Sent Home at 9:30. But a neighbouring office is still out delivering

[chickenwittle]

Good to see a bit of common sense being used. Are those of you sent home expected to pay back the hours?

Yes!!! They told us that they expect some”goodwill” over the coming days to make up for going home early today!!

No chance , their decision to send you home .

[norris9]

Yes!!! They told us that they expect some”goodwill” over the coming days to make up for going home early today!!

So.... we go over our time a lot during the year, especially at Xmas.....we have had double mail days going on for 7 months or so.....and they want goodwill tomorrow?....they take us for mugs. It's all take take take from them. The moment they are forced to give us something, they want something back.

I haven't had any goodwill from them for going past my contracted hours over many years, clearing at xmas, etc....

[deristrong]

My own office didn't go out but my postie (different area) was sent out and told to "use common sense". Funny, but when we show common sense in deciding what amount of mail we think is possible to clear they don't like it. Bastards.

Sent via PDA from my office
‘MESSAGE TO ALL DRIVERS:
Continuing heavy rainfall creating surface water.
Please adapt driving to conditions.
Stay safe.

Arrived at 7am, told a short while later that deliveries were being suspended for today. Management asked that all jobs be fully prepped and we scan all our tracked parcels as 'delivery not attempted'.

They expect goodwill tomorrow, i.e. go past our time but not claim O/T.

Left office by 9am.

Today was specials and tracked packages only, for 1 hour weather window. No Mail or COllOD. Left office for home at 9.30. They, of course expect 5 hours clawback over coming days, despite sending us home. My delivery didn't go out yesterday, so currently have 2 days mail in frame, 3 counting tomorrow (red storm area) and 2 parcel bags.

[jessicarabbit]

There is no claw back of hours in a red warning zone. Get rep involved

[Wolf91]

Nope. Did a full Round, finished at 12:45

[sixfoottwo]

I'm in the North so not had it like the south, Dim printed of lf a piece of paper headed adverse weather and that was that.

Expected really, place is a joke all round.

Our DOM told us to scan all Tracked as not accessable

[Jack1960]

Went out at first light with specials and tracked , we were all told to cut off at 9, sent home 9.45.
Can't complain about that.

Re: Clawback ….

If an employee cannot work safely on their normal duty, they should be asked to cover other work.

If an employee chooses to leave early and there is other work available, they should be asked to make up the time.

If there is no other work available or the office is closed due to worsening weather conditions, employees may be allowed to go home early and there will be no requirement to make up the time.

Employees unable to attend due to their normal workplace being closed and there is no alternative work will not be required to make up the time.

For further information see the ‘Getting help’ box on the front page of this guide.
Also refer to the Policy and Information Site on PSP for further guidance relating to this guide.

Hi Weary, this is obviously from an official RM policy document, are you able to provide the source/copy of original document/
screenshot?

TIA
