So if 35 hours is the full time contract, what is my own 40-hour contract classed as then? If mine is full time, I suppose that makes the 35 hours less than full time? Part time??
Full time is 35hrs and upwards.
I agree with you. I just don’t agree with Enskied that the 35-hr contract is the full-time contract, ie, the only one.

Enskied isn’t saying that. What they are saying is that 37hrs used to be RM’s benchmark for being classed as FT. That is no longer the case and 35hrs is now the benchmark.

I wouldn’t disagree with the proposition as you put it. I’m not sure I agree with the rest of what Enskied said, however.

That's because you are wet behind your ears Smooth.
But you know better. You keep on trying for your boss. You're going to get bitten.

No Enskied, I was fast asleep when you were making your late-night (drunken?) postings as I have a job to do this morning and need my beauty sleep.

Yes, a contract for 40 hours. A whole 40 hours. And you’ll never believe it, Enskied…. …there are many of us.

Here is a little screenshot of clause 9.1 of my employment contract for your disbelieving (but doubtless blind) eyes.

You do realise that you now look very silly, don’t you?

Have you left the room, Enskied? Clearly not a proper postie, are you, if you’re not up with the birds, bees (and rain!) like the rest of us real posties?!

Are all new ft contacts not 40hrs?
