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 have been purchasing extra annual leave ever since the way forward started but its never been taken off me as a seperate amount before. i understood it comes off your basic pay therefore allowing a bit of saving on tax and ni.

Thanks anyway postman

I pay for leave as well and nothing shows on my payslip. However, Royal Mail are in the process of changing the HR system so you may be on the new system and I am still on the old. Has your pay number changed, apparently that is due to happen as well.

It also shows if you are on the cycle 2 work scheme, also check your basic amount compared to last week, it all adds up to the same just a full breakdown on what you earned less all deductions :wave :wave PSP thingy
