When to use this contract

Workplace context: Depot, route, warehouse or customer delivery locations.

Day-to-day operating brief

What Post Office Counter Clerk (WH Smith/Partnership) work looks like in practice

A partner-site Post Office counter clerk delivers postal, identity and payment services inside another retailer's premises. The contract should clarify which employer manages the person, which systems and procedures control counter work, and how retail and Post Office duties are separated. Work inside a host retailer needs a clear boundary between postal stock, retail tills, customer queues and each organisation's management instructions. A shared premises arrangement must not lead to credentials, cash or restricted customer information moving between systems without authority. Shift handover should reconcile each till and stock holding to the correct operator before shared retail duties resume. Restricted products must stay under the postal service's own stock and access controls.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Process authorised Post Office transactions.
Separate postal cash stock and records.
Apply identity product and security checks.
Balance assigned counter and report differences.
Coordinate host-store and postal escalation.

A realistic working scenario

The clerk may open the counter, verify a transaction, accept an item or payment, balance stock and cash and refer an identity, fraud, system or customer exception to the authorised support route.
