Temporary increase in hours.

Post by thehulk76 »

I am looking for some help clarifying a point for me about my current contract. Some back ground info on myself I have worked for Royal Mail for 15 years initially as a part timer then made full time in 2000/2001 and the in 2008 I took a buy down in hours to 5 (Saturday contract) to be a stay at home dad. After the two year timescale was over, May 2010, I asked if it was possible to increase my hours again and was told it wouldn't be a problem and there was plenty of overtime until this happened.

This never happened in September 2011 I was offered a temporary increase in hours up to 25 and I was happy to take this and was told that once our revision had taken place I would be made permanent maybe even full time as I'm the senior part timer. I never signed anything when my hours were increased.

My question is that if my situation changes can I ask to be returned to my 5 hours whenever I want, if I can would I need to give any notice to my manager.

Yes,but it seems your situation has completely changed.

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.
