Christmas Bonus : And sickness criteria

Post by Bluesman »

How much are we getting this year? And the date?
CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR ARRANGEMENTS 2017/18 INCLUDING PAY ARRANGEMENTS

Regular Pay (Basic & assigned allowances)
Overtime/SA/Ad hoc allowances performed w/c 11th December
Christmas Supplement 22nd December
Please point peeps to this thread when they ask the inevitable
From past LTB's but still applicable wrote:The Royal Mail pay directive states :

Part time employees are entitled to the xmas supplement on a pro rata basis. They will recive the payment pro rata to a full time (eg 40/39 5/39 hours ) week according to their contracted hours on the date paymentis made. Part time employees that vary their contractual hours and work full time for a two week period during the christmas pressure period will be paid the full christmas supplement.

Eligiblity for payment is linked to employment during the christmas pressure period.

For each full week an indivdual recieves no pay during the presure period ( eg unpaid special leave etc ) the indivdual will lose one quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick pay pension rate the indivdual will lose one quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick half pay the indivdual will lose one - eighth of the supplement

For each day counted midnight to midnight excluding bank holidays on which an employee takes unofficial industrial action their supplement will be abted by 10%
for officail action it will be abted by 3%

Wouldn't it be decent for RM to pay it a week or two before Xmas, so those who do with it, could use it for presents etc. Doesn't matter to me, but I do think of those who have more commitments than me this time of year. :no no

Its pro rata which i think is ridiculous. 25 hours gets about 150 i believe.
Not that every part timer works part time hours

its complicated.

£100 from the 2010 deal is pro-rata on actual hours - but the overtime element usually comes after Christmas.

£100 traditional Christmas Bonus is based on highest contractural hours of 2 of the 4 weeks of Christmas pressure.

if just 25 hours then you'll get 25/39 of £200 - or roughly £128.00 (before tax and NI)

It works very roughly as just over £5 an hour, based on normal contractural hours
