Working days off due to xmas pressure
Hi
Think I know the answer to this one but would like to clarify.
In our office we are "asked" to work our days off in the run up to Xmas due to pressure of work.
I have now been told that if I do not work my days off this year., then my Xmas bonus won't be paid.
Well, is this right, or am I entitled to say no and still get my Xmas bonus for working my contracted hours in the run up to Xmas?

Re: Working days off due to xmas pressure
The bonus isn't based on working your days off. As long as you work your normal hormal hours you are entitled to your full bonus. See you CWU rep if management are spewing bullcr@p about it! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

What sort of pathetic company relies on staff working their days off to operate normally, oh RM of course!
