are you paid in arrears or week to week

[postmanplod69]

After being deducted 4 days pay for the strike action a couple of weeks ago, i emailed adam crosier to ask why i had been deducted 4 days pay when i work a week in arrears,i got an email back from a charles weston who wrote to me on behalf of tom melvin operations director of royal mail letters,he wrote " i can confirm that you are not paid in arrears but are in fact paid week to week and royal mail are entitled to take 4 days pay off you".
But i have my original contract here at home that states that i am paid in arrears,so i need some advice about what i should do,if royal mail want to pay me week to week can i ring wages up and claim a weeks backpay because im paid in arrears??and also how many others here are paid in arrears?

would be intresting if or when you leave i wonder if email could be used in a case like this. (ps not wishing you gone just a very intresting topic for some people in the near future thank's for the post.)

I've never been paid a week in arrears, the only thing you get in arrears is allowances and overtime/SA.


It's always been the case as far as I know.

we used to be paid 3 days in arrears then about 10 - 15 years ago we all got 3 days pay to make us paid week to week
