Re: Xmas bonus
yeah we do get one, i think its £200 and im not sure how it works on your contract, but id expect probably around 80% of that so £160ish less tax if i was you.
Sorry for not having a complete answer, but it should be something around what i mentioned.

Re: Xmas bonus
You will get about 158 pounds then tax man will take their shares, so it should be about 130 pounds ish.

Re: Xmas bonus
I think that the only people who will get the £200 bonus and pro rata are those who lost out on the colleague shares. Everyone else will get £100 xmas bonus pro rate.

Re: Xmas bonus
If p/t staff move to f/t hours over the xmas period then the rep/manager should ensure the appropriate paperwork is completed and they receive the full xmas bonus.two-tired-feet wrote:And how many staff work pro rata at xmas , most have there hrs adjusted for business needs , but it doesn't get recognized when it comes bonus's , another piss take from this wonderful company

Re: Xmas bonus
The problem is that a part timer is rarely ever moved to a temp full-time position unless they are covering for a long-term absentee. Even that does not happen in my office... We have a line manager that wants to pay a 32 hour guy an extra 5 hours per week for throwing out 2 walks knowing full well that this guy has effective done full time hours and FT job for that week.
What happens is that a part-timer will most likely work a lot more hours over Xmas as overtime.
It could include throwing out your own walk if on a 24 hour contract, come in early to throw another walk or help on IPS or do some packet runs after delivery and then there is the regular delivery overtime or working a day-off.
Part-timers do a lot of OT - that is a fact!
I know the OT over Xmas is probably paid at Scheduled Attendance rate - is that higher? No idea.
* The only thing that I can give RM credit when it comes to pro-rata is the Allocation of Shares based on the hours worked and paid. And that should be the way forward when it comes to other bonuses or benefits. I doubt that had anything to do with the UNion

The Transformation Lump Sums are paid according to hours worked and not contracted hours.chrisj wrote:

The Delivery Supplement is paid according to hours worked and not contracted hours.
As to the xmas bonus - if you are asked to work f/t hours, ask if you will receive the full bonus.
If not, contact your Area rep.
