Would be great if someone knows for definite,if seniority applies to reserves when choosing allocation to duty,i
know it applies when filling vacancies,but can the manager decide himself,based on 'suitability' who covers a signed
for duty?

Re: reserves team rota
There is already a system in place for this. The reserve who does the most free overtime, does not cut off and causes the least problems gets the best vacant duty that week.robd wrote:Would be great if someone knows for definite,if seniority applies to reserves when choosing allocation to duty,i

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

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.

Re: reserves team rota
I cover a small group of SPDOs(6) and probably know 20 walks between them. I've been doin the Leave Reserve job for about 5yrs and have never had more than 2 weeks notice (even though now I'm full time) of what duty I'm to be covering. In the past couple of years it's been down to the Thursday(earliest) but more often Friday / Saturday when I'm told where I am the following week.
We've been told by our LM that we're not permitted to have a leave sheet up in each office so I cant check & see what I might be on in the future either.
I've read somewhere on here about 1 saturday off in 6wks but does that include multi office reserves? ATM I just presume I'm working 6 days for planning family things as I never know what I'm working week 2 week!
