Polling card payments

Ciara · Post by **Ciara** » 25 Apr 2019, 15:46

So I got told today that polling cards are coming in tomorrow. What I am unsure is that I am a floater and don't know how it will work for being paid. Because I know if i do any I should get paid but what I don't understand is how they know how many to pay me for?

you count how many you are going to take out with you and deliver them only. Most offices are giving walks 3 days to complete them,
so do a third tomorrow and inform the DOM of the total amount you have done :)

They must be sending them out for different areas on different days, got mine in the post today

we had polling cards over a month ago still no payment for them think it is a lost cause, make sure if you deliver them to ensure payment, have talked to cwu rep he said some payments have been paid for the polling cards but im still waitingso not holding my breath waiting.

You have to fill out a form on the day you deliver them, stating how many you are taking out with you, from which duty number, and the price per poll card. With your name and employee number and give it to your manager. They use this form to pay you. If you haven't filled one in then you won't get paid.

The one I got in the post today is the EU elections. Got the one for local elections in the post a couple of weeks ago

We don't do them anymore, council deliver them themselves. Can't say I miss the penny or whatever it is you get for each one.

The polling cards have to be counted and you fill in the numbers on a sheet so there is no reason to not get paid. I think it's about five or six pence per polling card.

I got 6p per local election poll card delivered last month, paid within 1 week and just had to say how many I had done.
No form filling ect,

I remember talking to a guy who worked for the council and was out delivering them on the side, he was getting paid 25p each for them! (and that was about 10 years ago)

Confused newbie here. My frame is 754 houses. We were told to take the tops sheets off the packs of poll cards and put our name on. Simple.....I got paid 32 quid. My friend who works elsewhere. Does less houses and gets 81 quid. Shes told to times here number of houses by 2.5. Is my office or maybe just me getting screwed?

We are told , number of calls X 2 then add 200 to cover houses with more than 2 voters
