so just to be sure i understand your office, all your part timers are on 35 hours contracts? you say "we are on the sorting at 0700 and the part timers come in at 0700" thats an hour less work to do in the day as you also say "we are supposed to finish at the time the part time staff" which i think you mean is everyone is scheduled to finish at the same time? if not and the part timers are on a 30 hour contract they should all finish an hour before the full timers do

Re: sorting how many staff
We have 6 sorters for a staff of about 70. I am part time (34) hrs and sort untill it is finished as my walk has 380 delivery points with some very long drives. Most of the the full time staff are finished alot earlier than me

Re: sorting how many staff
About 8 to 10 of us out of an office of 90 or so. Very few part timers start early enough to do any sorting now. The ILSMs are not getting the mail done in time for us most days. Usually people get boxes only minutes before are due to go for a break so they don't manage to throw everything off before break time.

Re: sorting how many staff
3 on letters 3 on flats 1 or 2 on the packets at any given time.
If the PTers dont get on at their start time of 8.15, 7.45 or 6.40 on a saturday, off we go. Soon gets the gaffer out to chase them up.
