Irate customers I wonder?
Why is it that custom and practice is accepted as de-facto part of an employee’s T&C’s when it comes to things that are of benefit to the employee (shift allowances, extra pay for bank holidays, top-up maternity pay etc) but custom and practice is not taken into account when it comes to things that employees don’t like (answering phones in hospitals and passport offices, doing yard supervision in schools etc)?
Why does it not cut both ways? If people have answered the phone as part of their job for the last 30 years how can they suddenly decide to stop doing it?

Like your thinking purple..
It seems that the contracts must now be to infinity and beyond with the terms and conditions ie;get up from your chair,walk ten feet,pick up the phone ,talk,answer etc etc.
However you can be absolutely guaranteed that the unions would find a loophole like, The phone isn't a black one, I was at another desk at the time and thats more than ten feet etc...
The only reason you're noticing the work to rule is because normally civil servants don't stick to the letter of their role profiles but regularly take on extra work, help out colleagues, cover for their managers when they're out etc.
Yes, and we call it 'doing your job'. And a 'work to rule' means sticking to your contract in order to make a point about the 'job you do' in reality.

Which is why, the Public/civil service need contracts that mention every movement they may need to do in the course of their job,as I said contracts that mention all they should do that go to infinity and beyond.
Plotting the downfall of the country © Daily MailI have just one question.
If CPSU members are now not doing all the other non work related work items: closing counters for half a day a week, not rushing through requests from Ministers, etc, well why is there a backlog of passport applications?
With all the time freed up surely any baklog would be worked through lickety split. (I'd accept the published 45K figure is nonsense as there's always some "backlog" on a list based system). What are they now doing with their time?
Thanks for clearing that up.They do. They are called "Role Profile Form" and they have been there for several years as part of PMDS. All the staff are doing is sticking to them.
