Temp contracts

Post by celerycelery »

If you are being offered a temporary increase in your hours (not sure for how long), say 20 hours to 25 hours, do you get paid for 25 hours whilst on holiday/sick for the length of your temp contract or do you go back to 20 hours pay if you are on holiday/sick?

They will be temporary contracts but no time given for how long temporary is. Presume that means then yes they will get 25 hours during holidays/sick.

It should be,if you do say an extra 5 hrs a week on 'docket' then it would be a no.
But if they up your contract temporary then it should be a yes.

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.
