Merry F*****g Xmas

Post by Picket »

we received additional letter this week along with pay slips telling us of the Criteria for qualifying for the Christmas bonus?????????

now is it just me or is this the first time that the Christmas bonus has been attached to attendance??????

does anyone know for sure whether any absence means that you fail to qualify for the bonus or whether a percentage is taken off????

it says it applies from 26 Nov for 4 week and yet we only find out about it on the 12 Dec ....... :d'oh!

a colleague of mine has an exemplory attendance but had 2 days off sick in early Dec, does this mean he will fail to qualify for the bonus????

my sinicism tells me this is another cost cutting exercise at our expense, hurts even more so after getting shafted with this accepted deal.

I think its the same criteria they used last year - I will check my records over the weekend and post if it was or was not.

However on the sick leave side I cant see anything about him loosing any money. AFAIK you only loose it if your off a full 7 days and then only when on Special Pay Pension Rate or Sick Half Pay.

The only time people loose otherwise is when on Official Strike Action the whole unit looses 3% per day, and anyone goes on unofficial strike the whole unit loose 10% per day.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I hope this helps.

. Christmas Bonus Supplement



The Christmas bonus supplement will be £100 for full time OPG and OSGs (pro-rated for part timers). The eligibility criteria for the Christmas bonus payment will be the same as last year, based on the four December weeks and with same abatement criteria for industrial action as used previously, drawn from the PBS agreement. Payments in 2006 will be made on Friday 21 December.

I expect I won't receive any bonus as I'm still off sick, will wait and see, if they pay it no doubt I will have to pay it back.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

The way i see it you will get £100 but you may loose 1/4 of each full week but as i am not a rep maybe better post it in the union forum to get a correct answer. ps over payment to be corrected on 25/01/08.

My "Christmas Timetable" doesn't include ANY mention of a Bonus. We were also told a couple of weeks ago that we wouldn't be getting one. The least they could do is tell us WHY we are being singled out like this!
