Re: Wage hourly rates new and old
Meal breaks and delivery supplement so yeh it’s more like:
556.93/33.3=16.725
Maybe wrong but isn’t that right?
556.93/33.3=16.725
Maybe wrong but isn’t that right?

That’s you paying me a phantom amount. I am paid £14.22phr gross, whether I take a break or not.postmanzach wrote: ↑28 Apr 2026, 07:10More than that slightly. 526.35 / by 37 is £14.22 but you got paid meal breaks so it’s closer to 15 something
New Contracts do take breaks while on duty and are therefore paid £13.06phr. Officially they aren’t supposed to take those breaks but they do. They go to the shop, they’ll have a break at the same time as their work partner.
It’s the businesses way of calculating it to add up phantom amounts and say we are being paid it and then make us a low offer. Let’s not play that game.

Re: Wage hourly rates new and old
If you paid for you breaks you’re working 33.3 hours right? Yes you are at work could argue that but it’s a decent benefit. We are paid to not be working which means it’s about 33 hours of work a week.Barnacle wrote: ↑28 Apr 2026, 07:20That’s you paying me a phantom amount.

And about £20 delivery supplement. 526 basic? So 546/33.3

Re: Wage hourly rates new and old
It’s £556.93 per week for 37 hours on a legacy contract, including the delivery supplement which is actually over £30 per week ( London weighting is higher). This is before the pay rise.

Re: Wage hourly rates new and old
It’s £14.22
It’s crazy the way people are falsely inflating the hourly rate
Even amongst full time staff supplements and payments are different
Next people will be saying toilet break that boosts hourly pay
Ooh stuck in lights that boosts hourly pay
Until new entrants started no one even talked about paid or unpaid breaks
