- Correct (as detailed below)

The Christmas pay supplement of £100 for full time OPG and OSGs, pro-rated for part
timers and 35-hour full timers (subject to the arrangements in Section 7) will be paid on
Friday, 21st December. The eligibility criteria for the Christmas supplement payment will be
the same as last year, based on the four December weeks (commencing Monday, 26th
November). In the unlikely event of any Industrial Action the abatement criteria will be
drawn from the PBS agreement.
and then 85 as something incentive. I’m on temporary full time contract so was expecting full 200. Been cleaning up easy ot so not too bothered but wonder why it’s dofferent?!
- see below - you've been on temp FT hours for Xmas but if you're a PT'er normally, then the top-up amount you get depends on what OT at standard rate you've worked throughout the year - not just Xmas. (This info is from this year's Xmas arrangements documentation).


The separate payment of £100 (pro rata for PT and 35hr full time employees) agreed in the
National Joint Statement - New Incentive Arrangements June 2012 will also be paid on
Friday, 21st December. As in previous years, any necessary top up payments for Part Time
or 35 hr Full time employees will be made in January 2019 in accordance with the actual
hours worked at standard rate, beyond contractual during 2018.
Is this done at head office or by your manager I got 75 and 75 and have been doing overtime. Is some due in a few weeks as don’t want to badger my manager if that’s the case

The January top up for the bonus due to OT done throughout the year would be done by the ZX81's at HR I would imagine and gets paid about the third week of January.

Mine has always come through automatically but I've never been arsed enough to work it out exactly to make sure it's correct down to the last penny.
