Postal
Delivery Officers' Hours of Duty
Monday 7 July 2008
It has been brought to the Union’s attention that an
increasing number of new PDOs and existing permanent part
time PDOs converting to full time employment are not being
employed against the normal ordinary hours of duty as
determined by the Australia Post Operations Award.
It has been reported to the Union that these employees are
rostered on 7’21 hours per day as their ordinary hours of
duty. The Award clearly provides that the ordinary hours of
duty of Postal Delivery Employees will be 36.75 hours per
week to be worked eight hours on Monday, seven hours on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then 7.75 hours on
Friday. Where operational requirements necessitate the
working of an eight hour or 7.75 hour day regularly on any
day other than Monday or Friday respectively, that day may
be substituted for the Monday or Friday.
The above report is of serious concern and the Union has
written to Australia Post seeking undertakings for this
breach of the Award to cease by incompetent management
representatives.
Any member who thinks that they may be affected by this
issue should contact their allocated Branch Official or the
CEPU State Office immediately on (02) 9893 7822.
