Has anyone been given FT hours yet from PT?

[Newpoet]

We're 3 weeks into DM26

and the big question is.................is it working ????

I have the same question.

Well, I already know that posties taking Tracked + 1st Class Mail will fail most days.... so how that 'improves quality of service' - I don't know.

As for PT to FT.... just ask your rep to see if you can move up in hours now....if your office is recruiting, they have to put you up in hours if you want an increase.

Is that definitely true? Because they are hiring now!

They should be asking part timers if they want to increase their hours before hiring externally. Tell your managers and rep you want an increase ASAP and make it clear that they need to uplift your hours before employing anyone new otherwise the manager can get into serious shiz if they do.

Oh nice! Brilliant. Tried this, the union though said they have to hire so we can start dm26. So cannot uplift my hours

It depends what hours they are advertising. If you are on 30 hours and they are advertising for 30 hour workers, then I believe they don't have to offer you any extra hours, but if you work 30 hours and see an advert for a 35 hour vacancy at your office, then that's wrong. They have to offer current staff, in seniority order, the extra 5 hours.

If it's the latter, then get your area rep involved if your local rep is saying no.

Either way, it's good to let management and your local rep you want an uplift.

Did you take part in the scoping exercise?

[sorefeet17]

It was a no for me, they didn't even bother replying to my request.

If your on an old contract on pt hours and if/when you get a chance to increase to full time is that full time contract on the new terms and conditions..?

[TopperGas]

It should be the old terms but never put it pass a COM to try and pull a fast one!!

We've had people increase their hours but it is just that, they still have to work Sundays and breaks are unpaid

Obviously not legacy contracts then.

No but if there's people on legacy contracts who haven't had the chance to increase their hours by now then the likelihood it's never going to happen.
