I'm 32hrs contract covering full time walk for last 18 months. Over Xmas have worked my day off and 2hrs SA on IPS. I asked my DOM to make me up to get full bonus and was told nobody was getting made up! Greedy, selfish bast*rds! :mad

Xmas bonus is now paid depending on how many hours work over the 4 week period not on contracted hours. It is apparantly part of the 2010 rubbish. If you are part time you will of been paid pro rata at the moment the rest should be in your pay packet in January. So if you do 40 hrs a week each week you will get the full £100, eventually. Hope this helps.

It isn't,unless you are officially 'made up' during that time.
Just working extra hrs is not enough.There is nothing in 2010 about it unless you can show us if we've missed it.

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.
