£8 supplement for mail centres

[patrickstar]

Hi guys
have read in the new agreement about this additional £8 supplement but having spoken to my local rep whether we will get it ,he is unclear.I believe it relates to old productive schemes and its complicated.He believes that we have already had some of it included in our current pay structure but the new deal refers to everybody getting it in the mail centres.It sounds like another fiddle tbh.

The £8 supplement replaces the first £8 of any PBS/ICS supplement you already get.
If you are getting a PBS/ICS supplement in your MC it will be shown as a seperate item on your wage slip.
If you do not have a PBS/ICS supplement on your wage slip it means you would get the full £8 under this agreement.
If you get more than £8 you will get nothing more - my MC gets £14.40 weekly, so we would get nothing.
My Area Rep says this is to ensure that every MC gets at least £8.

I thought that the PBS/ICS supplement was pensionable, but my Area Rep has told me that it isn't, so it will have no
effect on VR/EVR payments or pensions as I had originally thought.

The way we were told it,all the figures have to be worked out at a local level,so the payments will prob be sorted out MC to MC,but was told that when it is,that it will be backdated to the start of the agreement for all.

Will this be pro rata?

Yes

A new (non pensionable) supplement to basic pay to all OPGs/OSGs in Mail Centres, OPGs/OSGs in Collection Hubs (who are not eligible to receive the Delivery Pay supplement) and Royal Mail CWU grades in MDECs pro rata for part-time employees. The supplement will increase in value as agreed in basic pay rises. It will flow through in 2011 and 2012. It will be paid 52 weeks a year at the rate of £8.00 per week and applies to new entrants. It replaces the first £8.00 of any PBS/ICS residual bonus payment in the Unit. In Units where the PBS/ICS payment is greater than £8.00, the amount over £8.00 will still be paid to existing recipients. Where the existing PBS/ICS payment is less than £8.00, the shortfall is funded on an ongoing basis by using the pool of money created by the former ESOS productivity scheme. The employees eligible for this pay supplement will also receive a one-off non-pensionable lump sum payment of £75 (pro rata for part-time employees) along with the first payment of the new supplement.
