Pay?

[Northlander]

Hi All,
I've just had confirmation of my start date but just wondering. I'm on a part time (20) hours a week 6 month contract.
Will I be paid monthly or weekly, I can't seem to find any info

Also confused over the supplements etc the role involves driving daily, so is there a supplement for that or not?

I know I will find out most of this at my induction but eager to know now (impatient)

Thanks in advance

Weekly pay, plus an area supplement of a few quid and door-2-door junk leaflet payment of about 12 if you are 20 hours. You don't work a week in hand, you are paid the first Friday you work. You get paid for the induction and get a petrol/mileage allowance for driving to the induction, see your happy and co-operative Delivery Office Manager when you start who will put it on the system, and you'll get a separate wage slip/payment into your bank for it.

Thanks for the prompt replies and info.

I'm also a bit confused about the hours contracted to do 20 a week over 5 days but at the interview I was advised that I would be driving every day and that driving shifts were 6 hours so that's 5 x 6 = 30 hours a week, do you think thats right the 6 hour driving shifts ? and once I'm over 20 hours is that still paid at basic £ or is there an overtime rate or after how many hours does overtime come into effect?

You'll need to claim overtime after 4 hours each day, assuming you're contracted to 5 working days per week.

There are two types of overtime, Absence, and Pressure.

Absence is when for example they put you, a part timer, on a full time duty. You'd claim after 4 hours until the duty finish time.

Pressure is for example when it's busy (ie council tax day). You will incur some pressure for the first month or so whilst you learn the ropes. To put it bluntly, you'll be a bit slower than the regular posties, but you'll soon start to notice you're getting quicker.

Cheers guys thanks

make sure you know your hours daily when you start and book any overtime. managers will shaft you given the chance

[loverman shabba]

my wage is never correct constantly chasing overtime because of managers

Keep your nose clean don't have much time off don't let managers you bullshit you join the union keep a record of hours you worked and book the relaxant over time if unsure seek advice from your colleagues and most of all don't get sucked in to any internal politics you will get all the old timers moaning about s**t
It's not a bad job a lot of pressure however this new agreement should hopefully making deliveries better with less bullying by managers I don't work in deliveries any more just offering you advice i started on a 30 hr AG contract they don't have them anymore am still here 20 yrs later

Where does it say we dont work a week in hand? Some of the part times in our office have been made full time for Christmas but they got part time pay yesterday and the management said you work a week in hand.

Your basic pay is not a week in hand - your overtime pay is. So on your first week you'll get paid your basic pay, but no overtime. On your second week you'll get paid your second week's basic pay, plus your first week's overtime.

The week after you leave, you'll get no basic pay but you'll get the overtime from your last week.
