Re: Monthly pay Xmas bonus
The monthly payslips are online now apparently, a friend of mine hasn't received the bonus when they have worked all the weeks leading up to Xmas with no sick day and full time hours

Re: Monthly pay Xmas bonus
They should receive some bonus based on the hours they were contracted to work during the qualifying period, not the hours they did on overtime.
If they can see the payslip online and there's no bonus on it at all they obviously need to query it.

Re: Monthly pay Xmas bonus
My colleague on a 37-hr new-entrant contract got £98.50 x2 — £197 in total — compared to my £200 (£100/£100) with me on a 40-hr new-entrant contract. Unfair for him that he loses £3 on the bonus compared to a 37-hr legacy-contract colleague.

Re: Monthly pay Xmas bonus
Ah, you know that crossed my mind when I read the comment this morning, I thought is RM basing the new contract bonus on 40 rather than 37, and it's true - jeez another kick in the arse for newbies.Smoothbackground wrote: ↑24 Dec 2025, 16:32My colleague on a 37-hr new-entrant contract got £98.50 x2 — £197 in total — compared to my £200 (£100/£100) with me on a 40-hr new-entrant contract.

Re: Monthly pay Xmas bonus
Well I initially thought so based on the 37 hrs which to most people would be full time, but Smooth Backgrounds post (a few posts above) explaining the 40 hrs contract thing seems to provide an explanation why you've got less than the 100, which IMHO is a bit sneaky of RM.Woody84 wrote: ↑24 Dec 2025, 21:16Should have been more?
37/40 X 100 = 92.50
But the quote from the Xmas arrangements LTB doesn't mention your particular situation:
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 19th
December. The eligibility criteria for the Christmas supplement payment will be the same as
last year, based on the four December weeks (commencing Monday, 24th 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,
19h December. As in previous years, any necessary top up payments for Part Time or 35 hr
Full time employees will be made in January 2026 in accordance with the actual hours worked
at standard rate, beyond contractual during 2025.
For the purpose of clarity, individuals employed on post December 2022 monthly paid OPG
terms and conditions, will also qualify for both Christmas payments for Peak 2025 in line with
the scheme arrangements.
