I'm not sure how this will get rid of people on legacy contracts. I actually have something to lose by letting the changes affect me so much I will quit. Surely the people on new contracts will just find another minimum wage job considering the hours are also becoming as bad as anything else. A lot of the older 45+ folk especially will not want to try work from the bottom somewhere else, they will just absorb the changes.
In our large office about 50% of staff are now 'new contracted' posties....
The remaining 50% of legacy staff are stalwarts, posties who have already lived through years of bullcr@p and can tolerate it, posties that feel the enjoyment of the job in general outweighs how poor/toxic management are.
I think the remaining legacy staff will be difficult to budge, they will trickle out the door very gradually, whereas the new staff are a constant revolving door.
I've lost count of the % of new vs old contracts in ours, but it's somewhere in the 50/50 range. It has definitely reached it's peak now I think, and whilst it's a revolving door of new contracted staff, we do get the odd 'legacy' leave or retire. A lot of legacy staff have decades to go before retirement and seem to be hanging around for VR that isn't going to happen - certainly not at the rate they think they will get - enough to not have to work again
We're going live in 2 weeks, basically been told it's 2 in 5 as local office that picked a 9 day fortnight is failing badly. Where has this Tuesday Saturday come from? That's why we are having to work longer days.

Do the people with the wallington weeks get to keep them?

We've got Wallington but now we work 4 weeks and get a week off
One thing concerning me with these attendance patterns and longer days is you will burn through your annual leave quicker.
Is it a case of swings and roundabouts where you are getting more days off with your attendance pattern but every day of annual leave will cost you more hours out of your allowance

Apparently they are looking for a fix for this as if you game the system, you could book all your annual leave on the 4 day weeks and get an extra week off.
It's really beyond me how any of these attendance patterns and annual leave are going to work.
All I know is that if you book a week off with a 6 week Wallington your annual leave hours are reduced by the full 6 days you work, I would have thought that would apply to other attendance patterns
When is the deadline for all DOs to implement DM26? Quite a few DOs locally have gone over ahead of schedule, if that's repeated all around the country, I think they'll soon bring the deadline forward.
