The (still) bitter no voters are getting boring too for pretending this s**t wouldn’t have happened anyway in the event of a no vote result. Enjoy the pay rise us yes voters secured for you.

Seasonal hours in a non-story, (the least worrying of the agreement)... 24 mins early start, or 10 mins for PT... neglible.. you won't even notice it. The real crux is the later finish times next March and how much of the 90 mins you will end up working later...and what will be added onto it in the years to come.

Why is the tax year suddenly a thing?

The overriding feeling in my office is that they would rather start the seasonal variations now knowing that they will never owe Royal Mail a minute than start it in the summer and forever be in debt to the company.

The question of the tax year never came up.

If you asked a 100 RM managers where seasonal variation is currently at you will get a 100 different answers. Who is running this company at the moment :d'oh!

the feeling in our office is we shouldnt be doing it full stop so never mind starting it this xmas , and do you really think we will get the 35 hrs in summer ? not a chance with the size of the deliverys are now and the company will just rip it up and the silent union will just roll over again, as they are good at that.
