Hi been working around 14 yrs as a postie. Transferred to another office due to management just giving overtime to their favourites and stopping Ghost overtime. I Transferred and got an increase from 25 hours over 3 days to 30 hours over 5 days with the promise of plenty of overtime. Now im im in a situation where I dont get called in early even though I have plenty of experience. Overtime and being called in early is for new starters of not even a week.
Now would i be able to go back to my old office immediately?
Also walks are massive here in the new office with people leaving in mail and still going over.
Do I have to go over or i can refuse and say i want to work to my time?
Finally 30 hour contract for a 14 year postie..is this same as a new starter or do i have the same benefits as before?
Thanks

You can refuse to work over your time or demand overtime to cover it.

Confused - you wanted OT/more hours, so you got them at the new office, but now the walks are 'massive' you want to work to your timeumair wrote: ↑01 Nov 2025, 23:04Hi been working around 14 yrs as a postie.

Re: Transferred to an office and not what i expected
find it hard to believe u have transferred office if u dont know what contract u are on, when u transfer did u not ask if u would keep all ur terms and conditions , thats what happens when u transfer u keep ur contract terms and conditions no sundays, paid d2ds etc, seems strange ur asking that question while ur suppodesly in ur new office
u need to be in ur new office at least 6 months before u transfer again
u dont need to go over, ur choice , giving up only 3 days work for 25 hours was a schoolboy error, now u work 5 days for a measly 5 hour increase what a screw up

I wish they'd incorporate delivery supplement into basic wage for delivery staff rather than showing it separately.
