Next week's payslip

[Hoochy]

Not nice angard workers get no lump sum

[freespeech]

Surely its makes no difference? the tax rate stays the same.

What happened to me at a previous job was the tax man saw a sudden payment of about 4x my usual wage, panicked and put me in a higher tax bracket (because HMRC assumed that was my new regular wage)... then once the tax year was out I got a rebate for the difference.

Yes, that's how PAYE works.

[guardianangel]

Sooo is there a lump sum payment on there?

Yep an backpay on ot.

So ive just looked and mine has basic pay then arrears of basic pay but no lump sum payment

You get that on 29th September

Only if nobody challenges seasonal hours which is illegal.

I believe that the cut off was 1pm on Friday , so no Friday and Saturdays O/T are not there, they will (hopefully) 234 be added to our pay next week!

Ah ha, that would explain why the hours were short on my payslip. Thanks.

Funny how HMRC are very fast to put people on a higher tax bracket but rather slow to put them back on the lower one

seasonal hours is not illegal but the non payment for hours worked for 8 months is ,you are within your legal right to be paid for the hours worked and not wait for 8 months ,on saying that you would only be paid 35 hours in the summer ,but you must register your protest before you start working it,if you start working it with out putting it in writing your working under protest your case would be harder,collective bargaining makes no difference on this one its your legal right,the union or royal mail wont tell you this.

So if someone was to register their protest and RM said ok we will pay you for 39 hrs in winter but only for 35hrs in summer?

They aren’t going to agree to it. Contracts aren’t optional. You can’t pick and choose what hours you want to work. We have agreed to seasonal hours through collective bargaining. You can’t just put it in writing and suddenly make amendments to the binding agreement.

Don't think hes saying picking and choosing his hours he would still work 39 hours in winter but would be paid 39 hours but in su.mer only be paid 35 hours think ii would rather have the 37 hours all year so will not be registering an objection .

Yeah, my point is it isn’t optional. You can work under protest as much as you like it isn’t going to change anything.

[thefox]

Ahhh yes you would still be doing seasonal hours regardless.

[ANDREW CROCOMBE]

Back pay less than £500 ? Excellent for a yes vote. Agreed seasonal hours ? The CWU may have done, but I definitely didn't. The company can now do what they like re lump sums etc etc change in hours etc because you agreed it. I didn't. Glad you're all enjoying the massive bonuses, worth the fight ?

Lots of complaints in our WhatsApp group about the taxman

Poor taxman

at least the taxman is honest about what they do. unlike RM.
