Polling Cards 2024

[mattick]

Are we getting paid for polling cards this year? Or has the union sold this right for some more magic beans again!

[clashcityrocker]

Yes you get paid for polling cards.
But we don't all get the same rate.

5p a piece allegedly.

[mjd24]

3p in my office.

[thefox]

6p in ours

Why on earth is there a difference?

Locally the last elections they came through as mech letters so they got run through the mech

I wonder if they'll be DTS, I hope so it really took the edge off the council tax letters two weeks ago

Yet again something that doesn't make sense, it's 3p for us, is it a regional thing or what ?

Interesting management in my office said we may not get any payment

It was mentioned in another thread that DTS might be turn off around the country this week, so it's going to depend on when they arrive and what format they are in. We'd often put the old format through the machines, it would sort a good few

Regardless if the poll cards are in envelopes or not. They attract a payment. Talk to your rep/branch if your manager is going to try to not pay.

Talk to your rep - our managers said the same thing. Our rep checked with the agreement and yes you are meant to be paid, so count them

[Jack1960]

I had 3 full trays today the poll cards were in envelopes with sequenced mail so had to count them

I think this post/thread included the last LTB all about Election Payments (LTB 111/21):
