Re: DRIVING ALLOWANCE
I thought they put a stop to it, only those who drove before x date got the allowance? Or am I about to find I've been screwed again =/

Re: DRIVING ALLOWANCE
But you've got to drive it for the whole week to qualify so all they do in our DO is swap them around.

Re: DRIVING ALLOWANCE
I think it goes by weight and the reason why I say that is because we had an omv that WAS 3.5 but they modified it to come in at 3.3 and the driver ws unable to claim the allowance - but hey, in the present climate who is to say they are screwing him too!iceman1277 wrote:does it go by weight of the crew bus or is it any crew bus?silly suffolk wrote:omv's plated 3.5 t0 7.5 recieve mgv allowance. about £28 aweek. duty only, if you drive for 1 day only divide by 5.iceman1277 wrote:Driving allowance

Re: DRIVING ALLOWANCE
there is a allowance for driving a post bus, but these are few and far between, and different from crew buses. its all down to weight, some offices get away with it by calling the omv's high tops and staff get the 28 quid, but managers are becoming more cute, and anything under 3.5 get zilch, or 6 quid reserved rights if you've put a few years in.iceman1277 wrote:does it go by weight of the crew bus or is it any crew bus?silly suffolk wrote:omv's plated 3.5 t0 7.5 recieve mgv allowance. about £28 aweek. duty only, if you drive for 1 day only divide by 5.iceman1277 wrote:Driving allowance

They are screwing him. Court cases have gone through against that practice and RM lost and many had the allowance backdated and reinstated. You are entitled to the allowance still because the duty is still the same. An office resign to park and loop would probably trigger a change because there would be no 3.5 tonners to pick onto but then those drivers would be entitled to pay protection for two years under mtsf.
