Postman with driving hourly rate for London?

It's a little complicated but I'll give it a go.

New starters are on 90% of pay rate (under 6 months employed) and (between 6 and 12 months employed) it's 95% of pay rate. Also bear in mind you won't be eligible for sick pay until you've completed 12 months employment for RM.


There's an outer London Rate and Inner London rate.

Inner London is an area within 4 miles of Charing Cross and It works out roughly 14.00 p/h after you add together basic pay and a small kickback known as delivery supplement.

Outer London is any area within the M25 I believe (this may not be correct) works out around 13.50 p/h after you add basic pay and the delivery supplement.

One consideration to
You need to make is the lack of Full time jobs at RM atm, you'll likely be contracted 25-30hrs per week and come home too knackered for another job.


I may have got a few details wrong but that's the jist of it.
