No. 150/21

8th April 2021

Dear Colleagues

POST OFFICE: PRODUCT SPECIALIST BONUS SCHEME – QUARTER 4 PAYMENT

Branches are advised that we have reached an agreement with the Post Office for bonus payments for Travel and Mails Product Specialists for Quarter 4 – January to March 2021.

The agreement provides for a maximum possible £250 bonus for both the Mails Product Specialists and the Travel Product Specialists. As per the arrangements described in LTB 019/2021, these payments have been agreed despite the absence of targets as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Below is a Joint Statement explaining that this will be the final payment for the quarterly bonus scheme as both bonus payments and the inpay allowance have now been consolidated in basic pay as part of the 2020/21 pay award.




Joint Statement – Product Specialist (PS):

Quarter 4 Bonus Payment

We are pleased to announce that following payments for Quarter 4 (the period between January and March) as the final payment for the Product Specialist Bonus scheme

· Travel Product Specialists – £250

· Express Mails Specialists – £250

Payments will be made in April salaries.

This will be the final payment for the quarterly bonus scheme as both bonus payments and the inpay allowance have been replaced by the consolidation of the scheme into basic pay, which was agreed as part of the 2020/21 pay award.

Although the bonus scheme has now finished, you will need to continue to give the focus and dedication to building capability across the team in Mails and Travel related products and ensuring that our customers receive the very best service.

We would like to thank you all for your hard work through a challenging year.
