Starting times.

Post by Biker Mouse »

Anyone got anything in writing regarding changes to start times? DOM wants to start later on Saturdays but we want to know how much notice he must give us! Saturday is to be treated as a normal working day but with a start time of 30mins later!

28 written days notice I believe, I'm sure others will confirm.

Yeah its a months notice not that you will get it written, if you ask me your rep has more than likely agreed it already.

Correct. 28 days it is but usually rounded up to 30.

On the wall in our canteen - there is proposals for new start times 9.45 for Part Timers and 7.00 for Full Timers and in small writing at the bottom it says 28 days notice which be given before starting the above implementations.
working for Royal Mail, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.......

Why?
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

That's what we want to know! Rep said he hadn't signed it off but couldn't get an answer from DOM! Can't see the point in it myself!
