early shift allowance stopped

Post by hawkwing »

Im off sick, about 6 weeks now, and they have suspended my allowances,(early shift allowance) im about a tenner short in wages.

Im not too bothered, but can they do this, ive never had a lengthy absence in all my years at royal mail.But this might make me be off even longer, depression and all that :chuckle

Allowances are the least of your worries. Iv'e heard they are stopping payments altogether for some not just the allowances.
