inky pete Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 No, a statutory right will always over-ride anything that an employment contract might say. Cash is legal tender. A cheque or the promise of a BACS transfer is not. Everyone has the right to be paid for their labour in legal tender. Not surprisingly, employers don't tend to advertise this.

RENT-A-GOAT Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Just been watching Keeping up Appearances. On the titles it shows a first class stamp being affixed to an envelope - just 22p AND there was better service in those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 But they weren't trying to close Post Offices and get rid of non-profit making services in those days. iT WAS THERE TO PROVIDE A SERVICE FOR THE COMMUNITIES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
