Angard better paid than posties

[tcblue]

If i work on a sunday i get paid about £11.50 an hour i am told that after 3 months the angard temps get £15.50 an hour sunday rate can that be right i wont be doing any more if that is the case in fact £11.50 on sunday is not worth the effort end off

i won't work on sunday for less than double time so if everyone did the same they'd have to pay it

After 3 month agency workers get the same as us.
Is this MC related because they 'might' get a slightly higher hourly rate because of shift allowances or rather lack of.
I do know the hourly rate for casuals differ for different attendance times and weekend work.

I would say why do the postie get paid less. Use the highest figure as the minum wage to be paid. Madness to fight for a rate to be reduced.

Yeah it is not a case of them being overpaid, we are being underpaid. The vast majority of employers pay double time on sundays, whenever I have done agency work it has been 1.5x on saturday and 2x on sunday Also why are night OT rates the same as daytime?

I guess it shows how much we are valued when they would prefer to pay a temp more rather than full time postie,i wonder what overtime rates managers get i bet it is a lot more than £11.50 on a sunday

It's simply a case of supply and demand with many agency workers, in London a Manager told me that as a result of a recent revision he needs to bring in Agency staff on more than a OPG P/H Mon-Sat and that's what the staff themselves are receiving, the agency takes a much larger sum.

Not sure what a manager's Sunday rate is now, I am only sure it's nothing like it used to be as the CMA negotiated away their highly lucrative Sunday rates some years back. It's probably a little higher than an OPG but not by that much.
