Stop doing it then, if they aren't going to pay a proper rate then just stop it, you will get used to the cut in wages.

Stop doing it and create more jobs.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I get £10.15 an hour for SA ( which with Lump Sum will be just over £11 ) :nana
They can't expect to reduce it to about £8 without people opting not to do it. :Very Happy
Everyone has their price. :Very Happy

How does the Scheduled Attendance Lump Sum Payments work (I think there are two per year ?) ie how much is the lump sum payment for each SA (hour) worked ? I believe the payment is made in leu of holidays ? ? ?

In previous years my SA Lump Sum has worked out at 8½% but this year, at 89p an hour, has been a bit more. :Very Happy I've never found out how the Lump Sum is actually calculated but understand that it is in lieu of holidays.
SA is about £11.01 an hour ( £10.15 plus 8½% ) while basic pay is £10.09 an hour ( £372.10 plus £21.62 Delivery Supplement, all divided by 39 ) so SA represents a premium of about 9% which presumably recognises ones commitment to work such essential duties, a commitment lacking in the 'take it leave it' attitude we can have to ordinary overtime. :Very Happy
