At my office its

620 to 1418 mon tues
600 1418 weds
540 1418 thurs friday

41.5 hours in total but we only get paid for 40

Whatever happened to 'getting paid for all the hours you work'?

They can stick there new pay scale and the golden carrott rite up there back sides.

For whats its going to entail no monies will be worth it.

The job has been destroyed by bumbilling idiots with a chaotic managerial style and big fat wallotts off our had work.

R/M said just a few years ago that the company was losing a million quid a day now last year we made 321 million profit.

How are we repaid for our efforts with a fecking pay freeze, and our union thinks that a shity new pay scale is going to smooth over the cracks.

Bolloxs were about to be s**t on from a great height not just by R/M but by our union .

We know although we havnt been told by our union whats coming and it aint good its time to get in the reg bay or find another job i think deliveries isnt going to be for me anymore.

In our office it's 6 - 2.15 with Sat 6-1. If it's your Sat off the hours are 6 - 2, still 40 hours - if your hours are more than 40 you want to be asking why you're not being paid more.

When is the next financial year for RM?

The reason i ask is when it comes to the next one, i can see RM making profit yet again, but us workers will get nothing in return. It was just announced today that we are out of a recession, so i personally think we should be awarded a pay increase of some sort, even if its 1%.

The financial year is the same for all businesses namely 6 Apr - 5 Apr

In the UK the fiscal year for the purposes of personal taxation and payment of state benefits runs from April 6 to April 5. However the year should run from April 1 to March 31 for the purposes of corporation tax and government financial statements

Although corporation tax is charged by reference to the government's financial year, companies can adopt any year as their accounting year: if there is a change in tax rate, the taxable profit is apportioned to financial years on a time basis.

The April 5 year end for personal tax and benefits reflects the old ecclesiastical calendar, with New Year falling on March 25 (Lady Day), the difference being accounted for by the eleven days "missed out" when Great Britain converted from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar in 1752 (the British tax authorities, and landlords were unwilling to lose 11 days of tax and rent revenue, so under provision 6 (Times of Payment of Rents, Annuities, &c.) of the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, the 1752–3 tax year was extended by 11 days). From 1753 until 1799, the tax year in Great Britain began on April 5, which was the "old style" new year of March 25. A 12th skipped Julian leap day in 1800 changed its start to April 6. It was not changed when a 13th Julian leap day was skipped in 1900, so the personal tax year in the United Kingdom is still April 6.
