Excess Travel Payments

Post by kevbo »

Have just found out I am surplus after our revision and looks like I will have to move to another office. Does anyone know what the current rates are for excess travel? Have read on an old post its 25p per mile but was wondering if its gone up since.

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.

Not just one about 15 of us. So thats the question I need to ask our area rep. Some people have got more hours and they have just took on about 5 new temps but about 15 of us are surplus????????

Are you sure? I think thats for T&S but I would get the lower rate for excess travel expenses if forced to move.

Well when I had to go to another office a few weeks ago this is what I was paid... are you asking about something different?

Yes this will be a permanent move to another office due to now being surplus because of our revision. It comes under the MTSF agreement which I have read but there is no mention of how much the current rate is. I think what you were paid is the higher rate. I think I will get the lower rate x 2 for 3 years from what I have read.

What happens to excess fare when days/hours of work increases? What effect has it got on the Displacement/Dispersal allowance (£9000 for full-timers)?

This is getting complicated. How do they calculate if your Excess fare payment is over the minimum £1250? Do they use the 25p rate per mile or the higher rate which I think is 45p? Basically I am going to be travelling an extra 65-70 miles a week in the car and in that case wouldn't qualify for a 5 year claim if they use 25p but would if they use the higher rate.
