It does go up after 6 months,should be automatic.
Ignore what the contract says for the mo,go with your wage slip after the 6 months has passed.

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.

I note the OP says he has received a new contract, and it is the same pay rate as the contract he received 6 months ago........ we're you given a fixed term contract of 6 months duration, which has now expired and been replaced by another fixed term contract of 6 months duration ?.

I was originally taken on with a one year fixed contract, this was changed to a permanent contract within a month or 2. I received the 50p pay rise 6 months after I started (4 or 5 months into the permanent contract), and should get another 50p rise after I've completed a year.
I am no longer a number :-)
