putting a walk up

Post by shepherdess »

Is there anywhere where it states how long a walk can be vacant without it going up for a pick

I've been on my walk for 2 1/2 years now and when I was put on it it was never advertised, I've never signed for it and therefore would seem to be vacant. I'm classed as a reserve and have been told it's not my duty and could go from it anyday!

If he can put forward a reasonable,genuine business need...yes.
Can he move you about for a laugh,to piss you off,because he's too lazy to work out something else...no.
That's where your rep steps in....hopefully.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If it's a proper advertised and signed for duty then no...that's bollocks.
If you're just holding it on a temporary basis until a resign then yes you're still technically a reserve.

Could this be used under BT2010 and the re-pick scenario, if after 6mnths the re-pick is not activated, can you have another re-pick???.. :wave :wave
