Surprised you can attend all those on just £60/70 a day!!
Okay eighty/eighty-five quid


Weekly Net Pay: Roughly £404 to £423 after tax and pension deductions.
Daily Take-Home: Breaks down to about £81 to £85 per day.
Hourly Take-Home: Equals around £10.90 to £11.40 net per hour, based on a standard 37-hour working week.

Are you up north? I know posties in inner London that are taking home £570 standard hours
I'm legacy, 37hrs, standard rate for everywhere except London, (I have the new pension lump sum booster which costs £5.61before deductions) and the take home is £449.05 so presumably without the lsb it would be £454ish

On the RM service update page it clearly states no collections or deliveries on 25th/26th/28th December so stop worrying, we won’t be working.

Are you sure? Although nothing might be delivered, I wouldn't put it past them to get everyone in, putting in the month's worth of door to doors that no one had time to put in during the run up to Christmas!

You know they have people reading this forum, right? If they hadn't thought of that beforehand, someone somewhere is now being promoted off the back of claiming this as their own brilliant idea.
The machine stops.

Every time Christmas falls on a Friday we get this same question about Saturday being a working day for delivery offices.

It won't be. You'll be off.

People will still get wound up though about the imaginary situation of being called in :arrrghhh

Check the calendar on your annual leave tile - still says it’s a working day!
