Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
Overtime? What at less than your basic rate?

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
Everyone's in different situations but I live week to week and I just can't bring myself to do any extra as the lower wage for overtime is insulating.

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
The new starts will, those of us on older contracts will see a change to lower rate after 37 hours, then even lower after 47 hours.

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
Early hours OT doesn't equate to improved delivery at the finish of shift. Rarely do people get out quicker and deliver more. It's inefficient OT.PostMasterGenetal wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 08:59In the agreement, agency staff have to be last resort.

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
In theory early hour OT should equate to earlier out but as duties have increased in size and silly amount of tracked for duties it hasnt helped at all. I wonder if cutting a dozen staff coming in early and having 60 staff come in early on seasonal hours will alter that?enskied wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 20:01Early hours OT doesn't equate to improved delivery at the finish of shift.

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
We could treble the amount of IPS sorters, so 12 to 36, be a squeeze mind, double up on packet sorters, tracked splitting and large packet sorters, so in our office, yes. Who'd of thought RM might have got something right, well at our DO anywayClappedoutpostie wrote: ↑02 Sep 2023, 21:26Not unless they make the sorting area big enough for 60 people.pieoftheday wrote: ↑02 Sep 2023, 19:21I wonder if cutting a dozen staff coming in early and having 60 staff come in early on seasonal hours will alter that?

Re: Agency staff stealing overtime
Playing devil's advocate here, if RM have engaged the agency member for a certain day(s) then they'll give them the workPostMasterGenetal wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 08:59In the agreement, agency staff have to be last resort.

whereas RM staff (such as yourself) volunteer for the work when you are able. From the screws point of view what happens if you
decide you don't want to and they've binned/sent the agency bod off somewhere else?
