Do you understand for every job you carry out a charge of 0.60p with apply for sending data over to your app? Work is not guaranteed and you will be called as and when . Must be dbs checked. Own a nice modern van, not like the ones we use. :Very Happy
Sounds like a great job. Not!
I’m sure this lot are not living in the real world. If you have a decent van it will earn money for you. You won’t need this for chocolate buttons. These are bottom of the pile jobs and I’m sure people with dbs certificates and all above board can get something so much better.

This is literally gig economy work - they want self-employed drivers who will technically just invoice for their time. They specifically said this WOULD NOT happen. The union need to get all over this…

Automatic self-billing (no need to invoice us, we do all the paperwork for you)
Because we all know how reliable RM are at paying ad-hoc or even pre-planed OT promptly and accurately :roll:

Doesn't mention how much you get paid, I presume it is by parcel. It also says the work isn't guaranteed, you might have days when there is no work available, sounds like cover for when we go on strike.

It is for a service called Sameday Service.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

What happens if I'm not in on that day?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I am almost certain you will be banned from the service.

I know absolutely nothing about the service.
Here is a little video you can watch. I believe it includes Xmas day.

you get charged 60p per item... so you'd already be at a 10p lose, so that makes sense already.
