Post by cozelm »

I have been working for royal mail for 4 1/2 years and my contracted hours are 17.40 - 21.40 , I have only just found out that i should be getting a shift allowance which i have not been getting, does anyone know how much it should be and will i be back dated from when i started,

The shift allowance for late attendance (a shift which finishes between 2140-0159) is £36 a week I think.
But if you are part-time it would be pro-rata, so I think you would only get half.
And it should be backdated to when you started the attendance.

they are saying that i should fill out a HR 17 form, i phoned sheffield and they have said that i would be entitled to the higher rate because my shift ends at 21.40 and that this is there problem because usually they would have my shift finishing at 21.39, i understand it will be prorata but they are stalling and i now have the union involved, but i dont keep wage slips so i cant prove anything (my fault i know). how else can this be proved from there side, . i have been signing my sheet for over 4 years now 17.40 - 21.40,

HR would have what allowances you have or have not been paid.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The signing on sheets must be kept for a certain period of time (not sure how long), but I expect
your CWU Rep can find out and get hold of them.
