Christmas bonus if off sick?

[k979aaa]

I was off sick the xmas before last all way through xmas pressure and got the bonus and no claw back as per agreement.

In our place that was not the case so is there different interpretations of this agreement up and down the land?

The Christmas agreement is nationwide. There is only one and that's the one that SHOULD be adhered too. Would be rather concerned if some were losing the bonus if off sick as surely HR just pay it and not sure how they couldn't.

After today may put it to the test in the coming weeks.

I've been off sick over xmas as well, got the bonus and no clawback. You do get some nonsense on here at times.

What if you're off sick for less than a 'full' week? Do you still stand to lose a quarter of the bonus ?

In my experience you always get your bonus. Pro rata or full time. You still get what you are due. Get better soon.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh If you are getting full pay when you are off sick, you will not lose any of the Bonus - so if your off a part week, unless you have used the 4 year rolling entitlement to full pay whilst off sick, you will still be paid it in full.

The 4 year rolling sick pay is an agreement with Royal Mail that during a 4 year rolling period you will get 6 months total full sick pay, and 6 months at half pay/ There are exceptions to this such as AODs.

When are we meant to be getting this bonus?
