Poll Cards

Post by pinstripe »

Do delivery staff still get a payment for these?

This latest lot are going through the CSS machines so will be mixed in with the sequenced mail and won't be able to be accurately counted.

We had to count ours as we get paid extra for them. Not sure how much it is per item tho.

Should have been out today but there was some kind of a hitch i heard.

Yep we get 6.6p per item thanks to this website :wink:

My walk does not get them as they are delivered privately at 25p an item apparently. :neutral:

Where does 6.6p for Polling cards come from ??
We only get 4p for ours. Is it different for different area due to size or anything or are we getting shafted ?
Or is it local agreements?

All this technology and we have to pull out 600+ cards from sorted mail and count them by hand. Pathetic.

I nearly said I'd forfeit the payment just so I didn't have to do this.

Also, with park and loop, your partner is delivering half of them, yet you get the payment. Is this right?

Sounds like an effort to bully people into completing to me. Except it doesn't happen in this company. Ever. :wave
