[robert37uk]

I have worked 35 years for royal mail and have enjoyed my time here. But due to my health . I have now applied for ill health retirement which im told i should get . Does anyone know roughly what i should expect to get thanks

16 weeks pay and 12 weeks Pay in lieu of notice (taxable) and whatever annual leave you have accrued up until your leaving date.

[redlen]

Do not quote me, but believe it is 16 weeks' wages tax free
One week's wages for every year served up to a maximum of 12 weeks
Any outstanding holiday entitlement.
They will tax both holiday pay and the 12 weeks.


Both the CWU and Royal Mail decimated this entitlement

My thoughts on ill health retirement are that if you work for RM for years and it wrecks your body then you should get a payout and then a pension? Is that correct?

It’s somewhere around £16,000

£16,000 will be a ballpark figure for a full-time contract worker who has served over twelve years.

What about those new employees on 30-hour new contracts and £1500 a year fewer wages than current legacy staff?

They need to get their calculators out.

Just another example of how Royal Mail and the CWU screwed us over

It’s less than half that amount.

Just done one.
