MGV SUBSTITUTION MONEY

Post by westy23 »

Have recently gone full time MGV driving on a substitution basis long term along with a few other opgs,
But Royal Mail are deducting my ex-phg money off my substitution money and paying me £20 less than the other opgs.
Surely this is incorrect and can someone confirm and advise please.
Thanks.

Sounds wrong to me. I only know one MGV driver who is ex-phg but they get both allowances in full.

Erm, wouldn't it be better just to have a chat with his manager first before putting a grievance in?

its up to you, if a chat gets you the money so be it. but don't forget a managers bonus increase's the lower his spend is.

All sorted now.
Phg money on top of driving money.
Ring wages at Sheffield to claim as they are now aware of the policy change.
Any problems, please get back to me.
