[Chris19]

A lump sum of £192.88 (full-time), was paid on 1st July. It gets consolidated into pensionable pay in September.

The 2% Simon has enforced....

I assume we haven't had any of this yet? as the only increase in pay I see on my payslip is due to the changes to National Insurance....


When will we receive back payment and start getting paid the 2% in our weekly pay? or has it already been implemented and someone's screwed up my pay?

Will apply from 1 September but we will be on strike by then a piss poor imposed deal of 2% for the year and if you tolerate this then your pensions and terms will be next!

Hey Norris.

Chris is correct, we received a £192.38 lump sum on 1st July payslip (week 13) this covers our 2% pay increase for 1st April to 31 August.

I think its been calculated as a best guess figure.
Imagine the time and resources required to process this individually.

2% will be added from September onwards.

I hope this helps ?

So we’ll all see a 2% wage rise from 2nd September onwards?

[BenacreNick]

Yes correct Walter.

Effectively you have already received your 2% increase as a lump sum up to the 31st August.

Many thanks

[Walter sobchak]

Cheers mate.

Also are we paying less NI as I never heard anything about any changes to the tax code?

[Nickvilla20]

Yes correct Walter.

We are as the NI threshold went up to £12570.

Ok. Cool.


I know I should but I never really checkout my tax&NI deductions but how much less are we paying weekly?

£4-£5 less perhaps?

Sorry for all the questions mate but is NI a set rate or does your contribution increase with the amount of weekly overtime you do like tax?

If and it’s hopefully a big if inflation is temporary how likely and achievable is a matching or above inflation pay rise of say 9-10%?

Can’t honestly see the Union achieving a 9-10% pay rise in the same way I can’t see Royal Mail getting through all their proposed changes which will probably see a meeting in the middle settlement/agreement on both sides as usual.

I doubt anybody expects an inflation busting pay rise, one around 5/6% would probably be acceptable, but that's just for this year as there's no signs of inflation dropping by next April.

That’s what I’d expect also with Royal Mail getting a few of their proposed changes through as well.

[Clappedoutpostie]

Wouldn’t vote for any payrise which is less than the minimum wage rose in April, 6.6% I believe.
