Newbie Help

Post by susan14 »

Have just been successful and have secured a Job on a temporary basis with Royal Mail, at the time none were being offered in my area but now one has come up ,literately have only started, this is first week. Can I change areas? Main reason I ask is that they want me to use my own car..in my area I wouldn't need to and contracted hours in my area would be more.
Any advice appreciated.

RM Private Cars on Delivery Procedure

Q29. Does Royal Mail encourage employees to use their private cars?

A. No. We will not stop you as long as the journey is legally insured and that you have met all the other criteria. If you do not want to, that is fine by us. Official acceleration, either by bus, bike or crew bus, will be provided as appropriate and as planned for your delivery
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If you know the office it might be worth having a word with the local manager, or contacting recruitment to see if they could arrange a transfer.

Good luck
