HWDC SALARY ?

Post by maddam78 »

Hi I am about to start a new job at HWDC as a mail sorter, this is a transfer from another office

I'll be on 2 nights Saturday night and Monday night

Expected salary £355 pro rats

Does engine know what night shift allowance and any other bonuses I'm eligible for? Nobody answer that question on my interview, even Sheffield don't know !
I just need to know as I already work in London office and my basic salary is higher


Thank you

No;it is not £355 that is the pro-rata rate,guys at our place get about £80 extra I think for working nights so I would guess you would get about £435 divided by 39 times 16 (if your shifts are 8hrs) so about £178 plus any other allowances that I don't know about.
I could be totally wrong though!!

Sorry, I don't have your exact answer but some random facts from a sleep-fogged brain....

6 hours of Sunday premium: £30.

16 (or so) hours of night allowance at around £1.80 an hour: £28 to £30

Your overtime rate up to 39 hours (the SSPR or Single Standard Pay Rate) is based on your basic pay and allowances... I'm pretty sure? You add up your basic pay and your allowances, divide by your contracted hours and presto. The SSPR.

If it was a forced transfer under the MTSF, you keep your London allowance. If it was voluntary, you don't. Knock a couple of pounds an hour off what you're making now if you were inner London. About a pound if you were outer London.

HWDC has a monthly efficiency bonus that usually clocks in at £30 to £50 pro-rata for 16ish hours. There's also two forms of local bonus weekly, which are around £10 for a 15 hour, 36 minute duty.
