LTB 290/24 – INTERNAL MOVEMENTS WITHIN ROYAL MAIL
No: 290/24
4th September 2024
Dear Colleagues,
INTERNAL MOVEMENTS WITHIN ROYAL MAIL
Please see attached a letter from Andrew Smith, Head of Industrial Relations on behalf of
Royal Mail.
This letter confirms that any individual who is on terms and conditions pre 1st December 2022 will remain on those terms if they move/transfer to another office within Royal Mail.
In addition, they retain their terms and conditions if they go from full time to part time.
Furthermore, the confirmation provided will now mean vacancies within a unit will be
advertised internally rather than going straight to external recruitment. We are now
discussing with Royal Mail how this is applied retrospectively to anyone who has moved
units or reduced their hours since 1st December 2022.
Discussions continue concerning resolving the issue of part timers who increase their hours
up to full time being able to remain on their current contract of employment. These
discussions are being covered in our meetings on USO reform and new entrants’ terms and
conditions.
We hope to be in a position to update you on the above shortly. In the meantime, please
can Branches ensure that this LTB and attachment is given the widest publicity.
Any enquiries in relation to the content of this LTB should be addressed to the DGSP
Department.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Walsh
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)
