Ours has been 17 per run for years, very rare to get less than 15, freezer space is always at the max so sometimes have to double up in the trays

like I said in the closure thread, I would hope someone would just freeze the site as is, as an archive, even allow archive.org to archive it (it seems it's previously been made private for obvious reasons but at this point it seems necessary, it's an important archive of historical and ongoing wrongs that needs to be preserved) so I'm completely on board with whatever you're thinking

@oldfashionedplayer thank you watch this space, just some time to prepare

technically shouldnt get 17 drops as only max 15 freezer spaces? obviously not everyone gets freezer stuff but in summer most will.

We are about same number of drops whichever system is used new or trial but trial uses less driver hours and a trip less.

Store manager talks a load of of balls, as usual they never know the policies.

It'll be up to an appeals manager,

The Appeals Manager is authorised to make a different decision if they feel it is appropriate e.g. they can:

uphold your appeal and reduce the level of disciplinary warning or no warning;

uphold your appeal and reinstate you if you were dismissed, giving you a lower level of warning*;

uphold your appeal and reinstate you if you were dismissed, giving you no warning; or
agree that the disciplinary sanction was correct in all the circumstances.

So better circumstance or same from what it says on the policy, the letters for managers say too of:

Action upheld,

Dismissal overturned,

Action reduced.

So it's worth going for it to be honest.

Are any stores who only run 8 or 9 vans on this new system ?

@lucgeo Thank you

Correct...they cannot escalate the disciplinary warning on appeal. It's either overruled or status quo.

Respect to you for sticking by him, even though out of your comfort zone.👏👏

Employee said to me that they want to appeal this decision still based on the grounds that the drivers handbook wasnt clear enough, I've checked and even a large uk insurance company defines unattended same way as the employee presented to Tesco at investigation and disciplinary, only worry is that store manager said that appeal can lead to higher level disciplinary, from what i can see in policies for our people this is not true, can anyone else comment on what they know about this ?

Cheers

One question I wanted to ask, at our store its 17 drops, lunch, 17 drops, load evening (usually 12-15), finish, so a van total of about 45-49 for the day

Is the trial just 2 runs of 17?  The way it was described in our store was 3 runs of max 15, with 2x 60 mins breaks for a max of 45 drops a day
