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.
What bonus scheme are you talking about? Any in my time were BS.
No bonus scheme ever existed that couldn't be manipulated so that you just missed out on that bonus, might be cynical of me but true.
Maybe this time they will do what they say, but i doubt it.
But the lure of a few sheckles more will entice some idiots to run around like headless chickens in a attempt to meet some unachievable target and abuse anyone who doesn't. That'll help stress levels won't it.

That is untrue.

The last one they had at xmas a few years back or can you not remember it?
Mysteriously any office in my area always managed to fall short of attaining what was required, even though the office money grabbers were convinced they had made it.
Still nobody knows what these bonus payments will be?? And staff have no visibility of the office budget.
If I've read this correctly the quality metrics can wipe out 70% of the payment even if the cost target is achieved so that makes it difficult for us to judge whether we are actually making progress towards it. What would it take for these quality metrics to fail? In RM's case, almost anything.
We never had a hope in hell of hitting our targets that Xmas yet another office several miles away which didn't get plundered in the last revision hit all their targets with ease.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Why don't they just make it easy i.e. x% of Tracked delivered on time, y% of 1c delivered and z% of 2c delivered on time equals a bonus of £??. That way an office could produce a weekly chart to see if they are on target, as it is it'll just be a complete mystery so no way of knowing if you are on target or not. Plus we have no input if the manager decides to sanction OT to clear work, that's totally down to him/his superiors.
Or easier still, no bonus. If the company makes a profit as a whole in a financial year we get a better than advertised pay increase for the following year.
