Overtime

[Joehego55]

Do I have to work overtime? For example if I'm working 7-1 but it gets to 1 and I have mail left what do I do with it? Post it into the post box or take back to sorting office (if open) ?

First of all you have to let your manager know you are not prepared to work over your time.
At the earliest opportunity, you need to tell them you do not believe you will complete the duty in your contracted hours and let them decide what they want you to do.
Do not post mail back into the system - it will get you sacked.

There is a procedure called overrunning deliveries - make sure you familiarise yourself with it.
You should be able to find it in Downloads.

Overtime is not compulsory

PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT
Where an employee feels that on completion of preparation he/she may experience difficulty in completing his/her delivery within the authorised time allotted, he/she should approach his/her manager as soon as possible before setting out on delivery. It will be for the manager to discuss any problem and advise the employee what particular action should be taken.

AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF DELIVERY
If an individual is prevented from completing their delivery for any reason, it is essential that this is reported immediately either by returning to the office or by telephone (telephone costs will be refunded). A written record will be kept. All employees should be informed of the local authorised arrangements, in writing, preferably in plastic card form if available.

Any members experiencing problems with Cutting Off should contact their local representative or their local Branch for assistance.
