It's not a 'bonus' as such, as it's not related to performance or cost-savings. It's described on payslips as a Christmas Supplement. It's actually an allowance, paid up-front, to encourage / reward full attendance over the 4 weeks of the Xmas period. Hence the deductions in January for any days where people were off sick or out on strike (as if, with our leadership!) during the qualifying period. Annual leave counts as full attendance, of course.
Simples !

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
