It's done by your pay number, I think. Lowest number win's.

From The Way Forward..
13.9 Where several employees start on the same day, the following factors will determine the relative order: firstly, any periods of Post Office service on other grades, secondly, date of selection and, thirdly, date of birth.

On previous topic it has been known to be on the toss of a coin.

Seniority is the national way forward

Familiarity, Friends and Family is the local way forward

Might as well get rid of it. We had a resign last year in our office. Some duties where left out as they where "Special" duties, admin, PSL, Callers office etc. Next, any duty that had not changed didn't have to be given up in the resign, the person in it "opted out" taking the duty out of the pick. This left senior men with duties they wanted to pick but couldn't because the junior person wouldn't come out of it. It always started with the person who was number one having a clear pick and then it worked its way down (we all know how its done), the most junior person was spare or had the last duty, we have all been there, we have all been that last person.
