1) Do as he asks and come back to the office to collect the 1st class that you missed
2) Drive back to the delivery
3) Re-Commence delivery
4) Finish on your time
5) Come back to office and dump all the mail you couldn't deliver (because he made you come back to the office wasting 20 minutes) on his desk
6) Go home
Anyone else have a manager phoning you up when you’re out on delivery if you miss even 1 1st class letter in the fitting (of mail you don’t take out) they make us come back to the depot to get it and if this causes us to be late finishing we have to do it in our own time unpaid! Surely this is illegal, forcing us to work unpaid? Just when you think this company can’t get any worse it does…
Our manager gives it out to the LAT parcel.duties. I have pointed out why should I be punished for someone not doing their job.
Do you get paid for it or are you doing in your own time?
I get paid to do.LAT's, but it's for parcels only.

You get paid to deliver whatever a manager directs you to, does it really matter if it's a letter or a parcel?
I get paid to deliver parcels that specifically come in late. I don't get paid to post someone else's letter. What incentive is there for them to do their job if they know nothing will happen to them for leaving it?

Within 5-10 years I reckon a very sizeable chunk of letters and flats will be Tracked. Already MCs are sending Tracked letters and flats out in trays both between the Outward and Inward MCs and the Inward MCs to DOs.

If that's the case RM might need to think about taking out the requirement for the walk postie to 'Scan to route' the sizeable chunk
of letters/flats that will be tracked that you refer to and automating the process somehow. Scanning individual tracked letters and flats in a 'sizeable' volume will be so inefficient.

It's inefficient now for most recipients as by the time they get the email to say we are delivering their parcel that day the vast majority of people have left for work.
Also while I'm moaning what's with the large increase in tracked requiring signatures? An item which would fit through a letter box or safeplaced is now brought back to the office

There's just a large increase in everything, Tracked, Signed Tracked, Specials, Customer Collects, in past years we've spent 30+ mins doing lapsing in the summer months, we even worked reduced hours recently in the summer, now it's virtually impossible to complete our own duties in the time allowed.
If Tracked etc keep increasing then within a year or so we won't have any time to deliver 2c mail.

The system basically needs to know that an item is going out for delivery that day and on which walk. How can the system know an item isn't going out if items aren't scanned out to a walk?

Don't know what you expect RM to be able to do aout that, it's purely the choice of the sender.

Fairly sure I already know your reply but I think there should be a system where all parcels/packets are scanned into the yorks at the mailcentre before being sent to the DO. The earlier the customer knows their item is on its way the more chance they have to make appropriate arrangements.
As for signed for Tracked they cost RM money so either don't offer the service or increase the price

There already is, look above the door(s) where the yorks are brought inside the building at your DO, you'll see an RFID reader, which reads the RFID tags on the york. When the york passes under that all the items are deemed to have arrived at the DO bout NOT deemed to be going out for delivery. They still need a scan at the DOs to show that they'll actually be going out for delivery. The same system is used when an Outward MC dispatches to an Inward MC.
