Post by bigal383 »

Hey guys girls quick question regarding holiday pay so I know we get paid twice a year 6months October - March then March -

Is it right two weeks is max payment in a 6 month period how’s this work if first part of the year your off for 3weeka then second part of the year October- March your just off one week u only get backpay for a week ?

Or is this equalised over the year for the 4 weeks

The current process (until RM IT sort their lives out and program the ZX81 payroll computer correctly) is that
it is assumed you take 2 weeks in the first 6 months and 2 weeks in the second 6 months (or 3 and 3 if you're an
old sweat).

Allegedly when IT do sort out the programming, the holiday pay will be based on when you actually take the leave.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
