Christmas Bonus - will we get it?

Post by anTi »

Still new to the site so forgive me if this has already been asked/answered.

Will we get it?

Also what about this years Xmas pressure OT - its been rumored in our office that this is not happening either. If this is the case this December will be VERY tight indeed :sad:

Plenty O/T going at our DO and they can shove the Xmas turkey we get up their arse.

Do you postal workers get a Xmas turkey or is it just PF or is it a local depot thing?

Pro rata I belive £100 for FT for PT divide £100 by 40 hours and mutiply by the number of hours you work.
