If its all year round make sure your rep is insisting on using summer staffing to your advantage and getting extra leave slots opened up, also make sure he insists on vacancies being filled after 6 months or if over 5%,

if dom won't do any of the above get rep to follow ir process and lodge a disagreement about it

They do save say five walks are lapsed all week only need to be throw off,outdoor work done for free in people's duty time instead of covering the seven hour 48 day for example no overtime payment to cover the delivery points.sick pay is paid from what you say.

they've still got to pay the same amount of staff regardless if they lapse or not. if they have 100 staff and lapse 5 duties they still pay 100 staff

well not if people do their duty in the allocated duty time instead of running round like blue arsed flies. if there is no scope for lapsing they cant get it done for nowt. my duty was timed at 4.45 and that's what it takes on a normal day. Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays are days that is quite impossible to lapse. Tuesdays maybe, if I have no door to doors.
