Here is a post from 2016 about the 2 components of the 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?
some truth.
The official Christmas Bonus is £100. The extra £100 is from the BT2010 agreement/Colleague shares.
Just like we always get Christmas at this time of year we will also get the same questions about the Bonus.
1. How much is it - £200 in total for a FT.
2. Is it pro rata - yes although in 2 different ways - the Colleagueshares bit is based on OT up to 39 hours the Xmas bit on contracted hours during the weeks before Christmas.
3. When is it paid - the last Pay Day before Christmas (23 Dec 2016)
4. If you are off sick you lose some. Only if you are on reduced pay. If you are on full pay you get the full entitlement.
5. You lose some if you are on strike - Correct 10% per day for unofficial action and 3% for official action. Days are counted from midnight to midnight.
6. Does everyone get the bonus - No. Casuals don't but anyone on a fixed term or long term contract does, although as far as I know you have to employed for the full qualifying period of the 4 weeks before Christmas.
or has there been a cockup?
