New starter question

[Duffman855]

Re Overtime, there was always a wee dig about it. Once I was even taking into office and told I shouldn`t be doing O/T. I said it was either that or come back with mail and they didn`t want me doing that either Thankfully now I finish on time every day now I`m fitter and more confident but when I was new it seemed I was always getting extra stuff to do ie lapses, coming back to do parts of other rounds etc.

Hey guys I've taken on what you all said thanks for all the replies! I am getting the impression that the managers don't really want people booking overtime but I have been booking it anyway. Today was by far the best day though because I actually finished on time! Never thought it would happen. so i am looking forward to going in tomorrow and not writing anything down on the overtime sheet because then the manager will know I'm booking the overtime honestly. Now my fitness levels are improving the job is getting better every day. I'm on the 'reserves' so I think I'll have to get used to doing new rounds. That's fine by me though. My worries are now over!

I would not get your hopes up too much about completing tomorrow within contrated hours, Fridays are normally the heaviest day (by number of delivery points, quantity of mail, weight of mail/packets etc. etc.), but well done for defending your rights from the sounds of things.

Glad to hear your getting on better bud

I would not count any chickens yet as it does not take a lot to push you over your time. Managers will never like you booking OT as they seem to act is if its coming out of their pockets.
