Royal Mail job hrs query

sarahgee42

Just been offered a job as a postal delivery worker. Its 20 hrs per week and says its between 10am and 3pm, and the guy at interview suggested its a 5 day a week job. Maths may not be my strongest subject but 10am to 3pm 5 days a week is 25 hrs not 20hrs.

I worked for them 10 years ago and the contract was for 25 hrs over 5 days, 6 am to 11am which adds up the 25 hrs, so Im a bit confused about this contract.

Anyone work for the Royal Mail able to shed some light on how they work this out?

Also, last time I didnt work Sunday but had one other day off w hich changed each week - is that still the case? Thanks

Maybe by 5 days a week job the interviewer meant it covers Monday to Friday period but only working 4 of those days in any week. The only way to be totally sure is to call them and check.
My brother-in-law works for Royal Mail and he still gets confused about what the hours actually are!
