We should be getting the equivalent of the Xmas bonus every 3 weeks at the moment given we've got Xmas volumes of parcels.

For being a key worker, for working through the risks of getting this virus, for not taking time off during December, for going above and beyond to complete your round, going past your time....

I am sure you will all be rewarded with a very nice bonus this year.

For being sat in your office, for drawing pie-charts, for trying to pressure staff into doing overtime and/or working their day off, for doing less than what you were doing last year and drinking more coffee and eating more hobnobs...

I am sure you will be rewarded with an even bigger bonus


The management team have gotten more ruthless this year.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

4. Christmas Pay Supplement
The Christmas pay supplement of £100 for full time OPG and OSGs, pro-rated for part timers
and 35-hour full timers (subject to the arrangements in Section 7) will be paid on Friday 18th
December. The eligibility criteria for the Christmas supplement payment will be the same as
last year, based on the four December weeks (commencing Monday, 23rd November).
In the event of any Industrial Action the abatement criteria will be drawn from the PBS agreement.

The separate payment of £100 (pro rata for PT and 35hr full time employees) agreed in the
National Joint Statement - New Incentive Arrangements June 2012 will also be paid on Friday,
18th December. As in previous years, any necessary top up payments for Part Time or 35 hr
Full time employees will be made in January 2020 in accordance with the actual hours worked
at standard rate, beyond contractual during 2019.

AND......NO.....YOU DO NOT........LOSE........YOUR BONUS...........IF YOU...........GO...............SICK............SORT OF...........


Eligiblity for payment is linked to employment during the christmas pressure period.
For each full week an indivdual recieves no pay during the presure period ( eg unpaid special leave etc ) the indivdual will lose one quarter of the supplement.
For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick pay pension rate the indivdual will lose one quarter of the supplement.
For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick half pay the indivdual will lose one - eighth of the supplement
For each day counted midnight to midnight excluding bank holidays on which an employee takes unofficial industrial action their supplement will be abted by 10%
for official action it will be abted by 3%

Sorry, ignore the last one. :shock:

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 no problem with people who are sick ill getting the payment but understaffing the office deliberately will make people ill. And this is what I stand against sorry too all those who's management put bonus before service and the health and wellbeing of staff!

Should do, the qualifying date for both bonuses is normally the same - so 23rd Nov this year.

You should get just under £79 (pre tax) for both bonuses (30 divided by 38 x 100).

I may have missed this but is it based on contract hours cos I'm on 25 hours? Or is it based on the actual hours you work in the 4 weeks cos I've done at least 35 every week?
