What a pile of crap,


Last two weeks been coming in early on o/t to prep my walks frame then going out doing a full round. Looked at payslip today, and 56 quid bonus, while F/T get the full whack for doing the same job I have done in the last couple of weeks. Another case of the P/T's getting screwed by RM. :evil/mad

My office often paid the 100 to all as part of our Christmas agrangements.

That's the way it should be IMO, everyone should get the same regardless of contract hours.

How long do you have to have been with RM before you get this bonus? I started end of Nov on a 6 month contract.

I got one and only started beginning of December! Wasn't expecting it as only been here 3-4 weeks, but I'm sure Royal Mail will take it back off me if it was a mistake.

That makes sense; but don't forget that a lot of part timers have to finish off prepping their frames, do packets, redirections, d2d and bag up, because the F/T pished off an hour earlier than they should. hmmm, yes I can see your point, how much harder a F/T'er works when compared to the P/T worker, its worth that full whack.
:hmmmm
