Xmas bonus?

Post by andy3665 »

Most big companies I've worked for pay a nice bonus at Xmas time. What do Royal Mail do?

£100 this year then £200 every year after that.
Can't rem whether it's pro rata though. :neutral:
From 2013 onwards, for the Royal Mail OPG grade, the underpinning £100 will be paid as an additional and ongoing increase to the existing Christmas bonus.

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.

It is pro rata
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

It's ALWAYS f***ing pro rata! :roll: :roll:
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

· The new incentive arrangements will include, as a minimum, an ongoing payment of £100 per year for each full time employee (pro rata part time), with the potential for additional payments linked to performance.


· In June 2012, each Royal Mail Group employee will receive the initial lead in £100 bonus payment (pro rata part time). This is also linked to current business performance.


· From 2013 onwards, for the Royal Mail OPG grade, the underpinning £100 will be paid as an additional and ongoing increase to the existing Christmas bonus. For all other Royal Mail Grades and Parcelforce Worldwide employees, the principle of the ongoing £100 payment is secured and will be paid in either December of each year,or through other tailored arrangements if both parties agree.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
