Pay Rise this week???

Post by DaveF14 »

Few quick questions. Start of the new financial year this week. Do we have a pay rise due in this weeks wage? Or was the 3 year pay rise deal agreed with CWU finished last year? If we are due one what is the increase??

Thank you

Yes 2.8% - no we won't get it this week because RM agreed it too late - estimate is mid april for the back pay and it taking effect.

All as per LTB http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... t=pay+rise" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A rise in the tax free allowance should add an extra quid or two on our net pay as well.

Think the tax free allowance is rising £600 a year so extra £2.30 bottom line. :nana

I'll be in a year shortly so another 51p an hour :nana

Moved office recently and extra 4 hours per week :nana

2.8% pay rise or just over 28p an hour :nana

If I don't start getting some holidays, starting new job hunt. :chuckle

What amazes me is that it takes at least 3 weeks to change some figures on a computer!

They are making money by keeping it in their bank account for a few weeks instead of ours. Interest is a wonderful (capitalist) thing!
