Forced to work unpaid/free

To be honest it just goes to show how many staff are very clearly morning people. Most guys I work with get in before me and finish before their scheduled finish time. Not many posties have really jumped at the chance of wanting to work a 9 till 5pm.

Would a £1k bonus upfront and a 2 year deal offered by RM change things?

There still remains a huge reluctance in our office (and by the looks of it on here others too) to work to your hours.
Protect your job.

........ and unless you have a flexi time contract instead of a fixed start and finish time the manager is within his legal rights to insist you stay to your contractural finish time. The fact you come in early voluntarily (unless previously agreed with consent from the manager) has no bearing on your finish time.

I dont have a start and finish time written on my contract it just says i work 25hrs a week. Does that count as flexi?

No it doesn't, your finish time is dictated by the office finish time, your start time is worked back from that UNLESS you are on a duty that requires different attendance times e. G. Collection/phg. Otherwise everyone would just turn up when they felt like it
