Back Pay

[Grumpyoldmailman]

Why would anyone vote yes , theres no agreement and its all very vague . An extra weeks back pay or years of misery ,,,

Because the company are going to do what they want to do anyway, better to take the money now then go back into dispute in afew months time if necessary.

Does this backpay include all overtime hours done since April 2020 as well. I assumed it didn't but then somebody told me it did? I've been doing 60, 70, 80 hours a week since last April? I'm fine with just backpay for my standard hours but now wondering whether I'll be receiving a lot more?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Yes.

In fact it's very specific in the agreement - I recommend reading it:

A 2.7% pay increase payable effective from April 2020.This will be applied to base pay rates or salary and flow through to overtime, scheduled attendance, basic pay supplements, functional supplements and allowances (except RRIS, legacy and reserved right payments), skills and unsocial hours’ allowances, London weighting and Scottish Distant Islands allowance.The backdated pay will be paid as soon as possible following full ratification by CWU of this deal;

I really should read it tbf. All the overtime I've been doing leaves me shattered when I get home. Thanks for the info. Saving for a mortgage so that will be a fantastic extra bonus

If you have retired but worked through April to November is it payable I wonder?

I wouldn't think so, you aren't employed by royal mail anymore so why would you get it? Could be wrong though

Imagine an agreement where we get paid at least our hourly rate for doing overtime that would be nice or god forbid a bit more.....quids in then.
At our office all the full timers work 4-5 hours each day sometimes less on easy duties for 7:5 hours a day and all the part timers work 5-5:5 hours a day on hard duties for 5 hours pay this is starting to annoy the people's I feel a guillotine may be brought out soon......or maybe the mighty agreement will sort this crap out don't hold your breath

What office are you at? I want a transfer. As a full timer I do on average 2.5 to 3 hours in the office so based on your timings I'd only be out delivering for 1.5 to 2 hours ! I'll have some of that please. There must be offices stuck in a time warp reading some of the stuff people put on here. Also in my office it's the part timers who have it easiest and it's starting to wind the full timers up, it's so different In offices it's unbelievable really. If this agreement is voted in the gap between the have and have nots offices will get wider seen as everything in it hinges on local agreements and how good a rep you've got

Because it’s what they owe you on the hours worked. I would say that they should pay it, unless there is a clause.

Talking to an RAC Patrolman today. They'd just been told their paydeal for this year is........ 0.75% Food for thought?

If you left before 18th December you don't get backpay.

I would say that's totally wrong.
