It will certainly give a truer reflection on what the office performance really is. Not counting early starters and those that don't take breaks hugely inflates the BSI they constantly go on about.

Can't wait for this to come in - I suggested the re-implementation of the time and a half rate for overtime in another thread on this years pay increase - I should have suggested double time, because they will have to offer that to deal with the cut offs now lolololol

I really don't think they realise how many people come in early just so they can complete on time, and those that don't take breaks for the same reason. If they think some offices are struggling to complete now then after this they are going to be well and truly in the poop :left:

Great news if true

:Very Happy

I have my area reps backing on bullying and harassment, this will cause it more as the hitler linos won't be able to cope :left:

Agreed!

So do we have any idea where this story came from?
I'm hoping this isnt just a rumour.
Are senior managers so clueless about the day to day running of a delivery office that they could actually endorse such an idea?
Dom's and line managers will be in tears if this happens, please let it be true!!

Snippet here from it:

Staff sign on work to time (no early starts) all managers ensure staff work the hours they are scheduled and start at their times and not before, unless they are performing paid overtime as part of 'flexing up'.

Meal Reliefs - Ensure all staff take part of their meal relief, as scheduled and agreed in their duty structure, prior to commencing outdoor work - this is a legal requirement to ensure the well being of all employees. Ensure meal reliefs are taken to plan off the sorting office floor(where possible).

This is how it should be done all the time, come in for start time, take your full 40 minutes, go out and deliver mail, if u have issues, speak to ur line manager, but do not take it out if u can't complete, don't do overtime unless u want to

Hope this is true and not an early April Fools joke! RM will then get a true reflection........about bloody time in my opinion.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

please beware though it is also performance related ie so much time to prep so many roads as your pt who comes in on time will now expect and rightly so.
manager also stated to the " i,ll just cut off then " brigade they were just putting up their hands and asking to be performance tested
so good yes but also take great care
