Will i receive the xmas bonus?

Post by paulthepostie »

Good afternoon,
I am currently at work on a rehab where i do half delivery and have been for the last month whilst i wait for atos to refer me to a specialist. I was off sick for two months in August because of this, and i have been back at work since October.

I am not receiving the christmas pressure hours because i am not doing a full walk, but i was under the impression that as long as your not sick in December that you still receive it. As i could really do with it due to my overtime losses.

Many thanks and Merry christmas :wink:

You'll get the Royal Mail Christmas Bonus as its only reduced/not paid if you are not employed over the pressure period, or your basic pay is reduced because of Industrial Action or reduced sick pay.

However, the Christmas Pressure hours, Christmas SA etc are all local agreements so your eligibility for those would depend on the wording of the agreement itself.

Brilliant thank you!. I currently start at 5:30am instead of my usual time of 6:45am and as i say i go out and do half a walk (on rehab), so i have been instructed that i do not qualify for the 22 hours pressure overtime because i am not on a full walk.

If the stipulation is you have to be on a full delivery to get the pressure overtime then indeed you may not qualify, without having access to the local agreement its impossible for anyone on here to say with certainty whether you qualify or not. However, have a word with your rep and perhaps he may be able to get a deal for 11 hours.

Just to clarify, not all offices get guaranteed overtime payments. We certainly are not we only get it if we work it.
