[terry2972]

in my office we get 3p per item and in some offices they get more is there any way of challenging this? to increase the payment or is it set in stone for ever
many thanks

Somebody must have some thoughts on this

Count yourself lucky! We haven't received any money yet whatsoever, not even from delivering the polling cards!

in our office its 3 pence for unaddressed and just over 4 pence for addressed, got paid today for items delivered 3 weeks ago.

ours is all 3p per item

We are getting 5p per item, either addressed or not. I can't understand why we all receive different amounts for the same job.

It's down to local agreements and it's absolutely ridiculous... as you say all doing exactly the same job yet getting paid different rates from office to office. joke

To be pedantic it's a National agreement based on local arrangements that were in place at the time: http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=61604" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

All existing local payments covering the delivery of election material as stated in paragraph 2 above will remain in place, and in accordance with this agreement, with the following exceptions.

1. The minimum payment for delivering election material will be 3p per item.

2. The maximum payment for delivering election material will be 6.6p per item.

3. All hours based schemes will be converted to pence per item schemes and then the criteria in 1 and 2 above will be applied. Where delivery offices have introduced a SDD revision since the last delivery of election material then the following formula will be applied prior to the criteria in 1 and 2 above being applied.

Previous no. Walks X O/T hours per walk e.g. 35 X 2 hrs hours = 3.5hrs
Current no. of Walks 20

4. In those Units where there are two payments e.g. 4.5p for the first three parties and 1.67p for additional parties the minimum payment will become 3p with any payments over this amount being retained.

5. In those Units where there is a mixture of hours and pence per item based payments the process in 4) 3. above will be followed for the hours based element, with the process in 4) 4. above then being applied.

Where election material items exceed 20g in weight a further 0.5p will be payable.

These revised payments apply from the date of this agreement and cover all election material as identified above. They are payable on an individual basis, and are not affected by any collective criteria/responsibility.
