If you have the facility available why not try an email to your DOM telling them you're at work and there is no manager and there are packets waiting to go out, that you're going home and you've had no mr.debs6363 wrote:I do a town delivery with an HCT, my lapsing is the large parcels for my duty that won't fit in my HCT. In other words, when I get back to the office after I've walked my round with my trolley, I get a van, pick up the parcels and go out again. Anyway, this morning was a busy day, as per ( I didn't leave the office until 9 ) no DOM about, so I told the cage bod that if I was back in time to lapse I would, but it was looking unlikely. He said he would tell DOM. I got back to the office at 14.40 having had no break, only to see my parcels still sitting there. I considered taking them out and booking o/t for it, but there was no-one around so I couldn't even get a van key and I wasn't about to take them out in my own car. So I just wrote a note explaining it all and put it on DOMs desk. I wouldn't normally worry too much but there were a couple of tracked parcels there. Now I'm worrying what I'll walk into tomorrow. Did I do the right thing?
Notes can be "mislaid" phone calls can be "forgotten" or "misunderstood", an email has the time and the date on it and you have a copy too and you could cc in your rep.
