Drivers money

Post by rockypostie »

Heard alot of people at my place get drivers money everyweek,just for driving vans,I think it's because of grandfathers rights,but wondering when did they stop new people getting the drivers money?


Thanks

It is £6 per week and you had to be driving for RM before 31st Jan 2000 in order to get it - this is from the Way Forward Agreement.

only if you have held a driving duty since then if you went on a walking duty on a resign and there was a driving duty left then you would not get it i think thats how it goes :cool

If you were on a driving duty before the time mentioned then you should get the allowance,you will continue to get the allowance unless you volunteered (signed for a walk) to come off driving.
If you lost your driving duty due to a resign (kicked off)then you keep the allowance for 3 years.

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.
