LTB 176/26 – Incentive Scheme for Delivery Units

[A2B]

A bonus that I personally could achieve I would be interested in, a bonus based on the whole office you can forget about it

[TopperGas]

How can RM introduce a bonus scheme but give no indication of what bonus could potentially be earned by each postie? As an office you could work your socks off for 3 months, go under budget then just pick up £20 each then find that's pro rata for p/t staff.

I doubt the average postie as a clue what budget their DO gas been given and whether they have any chance of ever going under budget.

If by some miracle an office does come in under budget one quarter then the budget will just be reduced the following quarter.

Again can’t see how bonus can work for hourly based staff

Managers can get one because they are salary based regardless of off hours worked

In your description they would be paid under minimum wages

Absolutely what will happen

Not sure if any of you remember the "Bonus" one xmas, they offered a bonus in return for something, but it was all pretty vague.
Anyway all the greedy fecks were running around clearing their duty and being out past their time everyday.
Then they started harassing me to complete so they could get their "Bonus" to which i told them i don't do o/t and i don't want the money.
So anything i didn't do they completed on o/t themselves.
After 4 weeks of this the manager informed them they had "just missed out" on the money.
I could barely stop laughing as they all realised it was a con by the company.
Do yourselves a favour..... ignore the scheme.

The scheme is self funding.
You get a share of savings.

But nowhere does it seem to state how big a share of the savings is going in to the scheme

[Whippy]

“The important principle is that whenever a unit falls below the office budget for any quarter, our members will receive a payment. Previously this reduction would have gone back to Royal Mail.”

Do you have to be apart of the union to receive this bonus providing your unit hits all the metrics?

[TopperGas]

Why would you need to be in the union to get the bonus?

[Jb1969]

Why would you need to be in the union to get the bonus?

You would not, but there is absolutely no chance of a single delivery office in the country getting one.

[Martin Walsh]

The union is never going to agree individual performance standards so there will never be an agreed individual bonus scheme.

This as all bonus schemes have been in the past are self funded.

This one is simply a cost per items scheme. So in scope budget divided by weighted traffic equals cost per items. Reduce cost per item equals a bonus of which 30% is guaranteed, the remaining 70% based on the unit achieving the individual units current quality standards.

USO is expected to reduce budget. Parcels are still growing which potentially means cost per item will reduce.

We all know that one of managements priorities at all levels is to achieve budget. If they are within budget than our members for the first time will get an opportunity to recieve a payment.

In the past Royal Mail benefited from being within budget budget now our members will get the opportunity.

The bonus scheme does not change the fact that full office resourcing is a requirement under DM26.

(there will never be an agreed individual bonus scheme) .

There is in Parcelforce ,

Also Martin you never replied to a question I have asked twice which is

Why are some Parcelforce depots being allowed to have 50% owner drivers when the agreement is no more than 25% ?
