I can remember correctly, but I think I got part of it when I was still on trial, like you I was on my 6th month. But don't quote me on that, I'm old and the old grey matter doesn't work too well when it comes to memory :crazy:

You should get something, probably pro rata for the time you've served so if your p/t and you've been with RM 6 months you'll get around £150............better than a kick in the bo**ox!

I don't think so as you need to do 12 months from April 1st previous year. I miss out big sum due to starting in May about 5 years ago.

But if you do that is great.

Yes, I've noticed that with posties, they all seem to be going grey, I can't blame RM for it tho, I've been going grey since i was 16. Bottle Brunette :dance

isnt it abotu time we got some informed answers instead of guesses?

where is RM

they know we are all talking here .

its a big enough company tha they could havea questions and answers section.?

the poor guy needs answers and there is no one to ask but a bullying manager who will do everythign he can to scam him for every penny.

come on royal mail where is your employee relations team.
