Thought the idea of the Christmas Bonus was to try and stop staff going sick during the December period? :hmmmm

As long as you are still on full pay. If your pay is reduced then the bonus is reduced the same percentage.

Does everybody get the bonus? I started 7 months ago on a 30hr contract and this is the first have heard of it? How much do you get?

It's £200 for full time 39hr so a 30 hrs contract would be about 3/4 of that.

What if you are made up to full time for the Christmas period? Do part timers still get only part of the Christmas bonus?

If you're made up to full time and your payslip says 39 hours contracted over the Christmas period then you'll get the full bonus

No you don't ! The 2 separate christmas bonus have two different qualifying criterias and 2 separate pay directives.

The EX IWM £100 bonus which has been around for many years has a criteria that if you work 2 weeks in December at an higher contract than you will qualify for an higher share of that xmas bonus up to the full £100.

The second £100 Christmas Bonus which was the replacement to the Colleague Share scheme is based on a part timers average hours on single rate pay ( not SA ) during the year.

No truth in the rumour that we are only getting a £100 this year?
