Training Payment

nelson · Post by **nelson** » 14 Aug 2007, 16:59

When the workplace coaches were taken on, I read that if anyone training a postie on a new round they would receive a training allowance for that day, when the Workplace coach was not used. When I asked the DOM to make the payments he said he had not heard of it. I have searched hi and low for the paperwork with the info.

Some people say it was Â£2.50 per day some Â£6.00 but without proof we get FA per day. So if can help you would make my office very happy and 1 DOM mad!!!!!!!!!!!

This would help use the coaches as at the moment they get their Â£30.00 and in our area not being used. This would be a big incentive to use them properly which I know they would like.

The workplace coach and training allowance are two different things as the workplace coach sits a test and gets the money in their pay every week regardless of wether they are training or not. The training allowance is an ad hoc payment and it works out to be about Â£18 a week. Your manger has to put you through for this.

So where can we find evidence of this to clarify our point?

Delivery

Liaise with Managers, the local CWU and the Bookrooms to plan in advance that walks are made available for New Entrants for a period of 6 weeks wherever possible.
Provide New Entrants with their initial delivery training at their place of work from Day 3 with the New Entrants shadowing the Coach on a walk.
Where there is more than one New Entrant commencing in the same week Coaches will be required to provide a suitably experienced individual that the New Entrant can shadow. These individuals will receive the daily non-school training allowance for each day they are assisting with the Delivery Coaching.
Demonstrate all of the other aspects/operational tasks required in delivery.
Inward sorting coaching to new and existing employees.

THE COMPLETE AGREEMENT CAN BE FOUND ON THE CWU SITE LTB 211/06

Well that's the theory, but in practice I didn't have a coach ( I think he was off sick ) and, although the same walk for the first six weeks had been suggested on the induction day, I had a different walk for each of the first few weeks - not the easiest of starts for a new entrant !

Thanks for that and for all the other reply's.

The thing is I can not find is it written down. The LTB 211/06 talks about new entrants, but what we were looking for was existing staff training.

If one member of staff is being paid to coach/train staff, then is would be reasonable to ask the same for other staff doing the same job, if the dum
won't pay ad/hoc O/T then it is a form of discrimination against the employee doing the task, also there are training issues all staff should be trained to
carry out a task even if that task is in itself training so Iâ€™d refuse to train anyone until I was trained and paid an ad/hoc equivalent to the coach.
