Clarification on Lump Sum Payments and implementation of Shorter Working Week for those delivery units, including any SPDO’s, that are not scheduled to receive walk sequenced mail
Where an SPDO is tagged to a delivery unit (has a parent delivery unit) that is scheduled to receive sequenced mail then the lump sum payments, and the shorter working week, will be made in line with the parent unit.
Where an SPDO is not tagged to a delivery unit and is served directly from the Mail Centre then its lump sum payments, and the shorter working week, will be made in line with their nearest (as the crow flies) Royal Mail delivery unit that is served by the same Mail centre as the SPDO.
Where a RM delivery unit is excluded from the walk sequencing deployment programme then the shorter working week and the payment of the £1000 (pro-rata for part time employees) will be implemented and paid as follows:

£200 will be paid to everyone in the unit on deployment of their first (non- delivery methods) revision.

£600 will be paid to everyone in the delivery unit on deployment of the delivery methods revision which will also include the implementation of the shorter working week.

£200 will be paid to everyone in the delivery unit when the delivery methods revision has been implemented, and objectives achieved in line with the local agreement and no later than the end of the 6 week bedding in period.
