Re: xmas bonus
What's wrong with it is lots of, if not all "part-timers" will work far more hours than their contract on a regular basis (especially during Xmas), but they still get shafted with the pro-rata payments. Whereas a full-timer can quite easily work under his hours for the majority of the year on a weekly basis (as happens with at least 2 people in our small sub-office, but they get the full wack payment.

Re: xmas bonus
Yup! Especially those on 10 hour contracts, working 40 hours a week. Worked same hours as a F/T but only gets 1/4 of the bonus?!
Should be based on the hours you've worked thru the year to a maximum of £100 rather than your contract. Although, in my case, it'd be the same outcome haha

Re: xmas bonus
I thought the xmas bonus was based on hours worked during the xmas pressure - so any p/t working f/t hours for the 2 weeks should be entitled to full payment.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Wasn't there something official on it on here somewhere.

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.

If you are PT and work extra then your tax credits will be less. Does a bonus affect tax credits?
Thats why he's saying about working to your time cos you end up with less tax credits, you dont get OT until after hour 40. Is it worth it?
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

PT only get full £100 Xmas bonus if they get a temporary FT contract for the whole 4 week Xmas pressure period.POSTMAN wrote:We had this last year,and the year before,and the...........i'm sure what you are saying is what happens.clashcityrocker wrote:I thought the xmas bonus was based on hours worked during the xmas pressure - so any p/t working f/t hours for the 2 weeks should be entitled to full payment.

Not if their hours are just being made up by SA or OT.

Re: xmas bonus
If a p/t has increased their contracted hours to 40 for the 2 weeks of the xmas pressure (where we are this is 40 hours over 6 days but it may be different where you are) they are entitled to (and will recieve) a £100 xmas bonus.
And you can quote me on this.
Your DOM should have confirmed this last week on whatever it is they do (ECA?) to ensure it is paid before xmas.

This year there might not be any extra money in the pot due to the revisions failing miserably.
