wages query

Post by muzzy »

Hi
did a search but couldn't find the answer, can anyone tell me what rate of pay is for an OPG after 6 months service?
I've now done 5 months and am hoping/expecting an increase next month.
also, does it go up again after 12 months?

and anyone know what payrise if any we are getting in April, I heard it was 3.5% ?


many thanks

See your manager,although tbf it should automatically be done i think.

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.

Network Single Operational Grade

National £355.48
Outer London £421.27
Inner London £445.61

'New Employees will progress to the maximum of the grade (shown above) after one years service but not before age 18 subject to successful completion of their trial period etc........

News on 3.5% pay deal and whether or not it will be honoured expected this week - see other forums - Dingo gave an update on the current position.

Ok so outside London areas that makes it about £9.10 for 1 year service and £8.60 for 6 months plus your delivery supplement.
Correct my maths if they are wrong!

Shame their house prices are sky high! I lived just outside London until I moved 15 years ago to a more affordable region
Prices are ridiculous in and around London, how people on "normal" wages can afford to live there I have no idea
