How much should this be weekly or does it depend on office? Does anyone else receive this if so how much do you get?

Cheers in advance

I'm fairly sure the amounts paid out vary from office to office. These supplements are a throw back to previous revisions and are to be paid out in perpetuity ( though the business have tried, and are still keen to do away with them !)

I think you had to be an employee at "that" particular office before a particular cut-off date to qualify...and I'm fairly sure new starts don't recieve it !

Unsure what the acronyms stand for...perhaps someone can shed some light ?

I'm sure one is productivity bonus scheme and the other is an individual supplement paid for certain duties outwith the normal ones. Mostly if not all gone now. i might be wrong but someone out there will know.

PBS stands for performance bonus scheme . This was an agreement introduced in 2001 and did not last long. The PBS monies come from old productivity schemes like delivery remuneration. These monies helped ensure that all areas got to £100 ex IwM Christmas bonus as back than Payments varied from £42 to £100 depending on areas.

ICS is the interim consolidation scheme which came into being in 2004/5

PBS and ICS were voluntary and was linked to hours being given up in a unit and the unit than receiving a share. Not all offices entered the schemes hence why some offices do not receive either PBS or ICS.

Both of these schemes are now paid on a reserved rights basis. They were closed to new staff in 2011.

You get them the first pay date of the month if you qualify. You don't get them every week.

As TBT said. Despite moving office i still get it, and paid first wage of the month. It varies depending what office you were at when the hours were given up. I think the highest i know of was over £100.
