Will i get a bonus

Post by tragictramp »

ive been working for royal mail since feb last year last year i was on a 1hr contract this year since january i have been on a 24 hr contract.
i believe i will be entitled to 240 pounds as a full timer gets 400.

am i correct in this or have royal mail got a special clause they make up as they go along, like no holiday pay for 1 hour workers who do more?

cheers - will c thursday but just want opinion

Us part timers get pro rata for the bonus, should be around £200 but we get taxed on that so slightly less than £200
Yeah you'll be getting it too this friday :cool

No, I believe the cut off date was April 2008.

But how much?
Please bear in mind, that some people are on 1hr Contracts. So I wouldn't put it past RM, to try to give them 1/40th of the Bonus.

If that happens: Then in the light of the recent case against RM, which the Part Timer won. It would IMHO be worth trying to get a proper Bonus. Anyway: We should all know by tonight.
