And rightly so the shower of ***** they've had the money since last Wednesday and people got told it would be in the following pay date, which would be this Friday. Utter shambles. Shouldn't be surprised like.
Edit: wouldn't be surprised either if wage slips are delayed till Friday
But don't forget that shower of ****** as you call them, are not responsible for the policy of Royal Mail. They like us when delivering, are only acting on dictates from above. If anyone really thinks that a call handler or HR staffer or wages clerk on the end of the phone is to blame, then they need their heads read.
Treat them with respect, just like you expect Customers to treat you.
I agree it's not HR fault,they have obviously been told to hold on to the money. They are just people on the coalface like us while the fat cats pull the strings,I'm guessing some of them are in the same predicament.
True, unfortunately we aren't getting the correct information, people will be fuming tomorrow or Friday when they find out if the money isn't in the accounts, i won't be one of the ringing but I'm sure some who have and got fobbed off which seems like Hr have done will be not too pleasant towards them.
Why can't Royal Mail just release a statement to all members of staff, maybe via the TVs or memos to managers to print off so they can do some work for a few mins?
The Major balls up here was the statement saying the shares would be in the next pay date if the cut off was missed,So the majority are expecting the money in this weeks wages.I am pretty sure alot of people would have spent some money on the strength of it being in this weeks wage too.
So much easier for them if they said from the start "Any share withdrawals made in the 1st week,Will arrive in wages on the 4th November and not before"
What happens to monthly paid staff? Do they have to wait until the end of November?
Bad communication always leads to frustrations,No matter what the issue,Quite a poor show to be honest.
shambles i haven't sold mine but I've read the information on selling and it clearly states that when selling equiniti send the money Too H. R which will take three days for h.r too receive they will deduct tax and insurance and send ON the NEXT PAY so i presume if you sold them on Saturday the 15th royal mail have been seating on the money since last Wednesday so surely they must get the money this week
Never known such an amateur company, releases information saying it will be paid this week, as its the next payroll, and then decide to gain a lot of interest on someone esles cash. Pathetic.
Is there not going to be a separate pay slip going out for the shares alone ? Also are all full time staff definitely getting 12 percent taken off the value for NI ? That doesn't make sense to me ?

Who knows these shares are becoming a mystery not even clear when people will receive the money
Utter disgrace! Still not a clear answer as to when people will receive their money. Yet again another fob off from HR. The people above need to let its workers know what's going on. Surely with HR/Payroll getting so much stick the people above should be decent enough to give them an answer to relay to its workforce

Part time staff as well.
Although I would ask why it doesn't makes sense its been in every SIP document since 2013 warning people that Tax and NI would be paid if you cashed them in between 3 and 5 years.
Free Shares held in the SIP for between three and five years after they are given to you
You can take your shares out of the SIP, but you will have to pay income tax and National Insurance on the lower of:
a) the market value of the shares at the time they are given to you; or
b) the market value of the shares when you take them out of the SIP.
