Wages Change

Post by jonsboys »

Has anyone noticed that on the last few wage slips the overtime is usually wrong, the mins are now apparently being calculated in % for example if you have 8hrs 50mins overtime and your lino sends this into wages they will be paid as 8hrs 30mins as the 50 is now supposed to be in % now!
What the hell sence does this make? What type of rubbish system is that they have introduced!

I am guessing your screws are not sending in the correct amount. :whistle

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 every postie stopped doing overtime just for 1 week then these so called managers would have to staff offices the way they should be staffed, there are enough folk unemployed who need a job.

What the hell sence does this make? What type of rubbish system is that they have introduced!
If you worked 8hrs 50mins overtime, and you wage slip shows 8.3 hrs overtime YOU HAVE BEEN UNDERPAID !!!!!

If they truly are now showing minutes as a DECIMAL (what you mistakenly called percentage), and your wage slip shows 8.3 hrs, you have only been paid for 8hrs 18mins because 60mins x 0.3 = 18mins

If it shows 8.5 hrs, you have only been paid 8hrs 30mins, because 60mins x 0.5 = 30mins

The correct figure on a decimal basis would need to be shown on your payslip as 8.83 hours

So, if they HAVEN'T changed the system, you're being shafted by RM for either 20 or 32 minutes.

Which makes a pleasant change from being shafted by the 'deal of the century', which will last a lot longer :nervous

No it wouldn't. He was arguing in favour of part-timers being offered 30hr contracts, or being made up to full-time, instead of dishing out overtime to people who already have full-time jobs, I think :hmmmm

You need to read my earlier post for when I said we should NOT do overtime so they can staff duties properly.
