Then consider that RPI is on an upward trend with Mark Carney warning of rate rises and inflationary pressure (brexit, trading deficits ,market uncertainty etc.etc. etc) it looks like an even bigger real term pay cut.
From October 2018, assuming the 1 hour reduction happens, An increase in the pay rate by 2.665% needs to be factored in for 6 months of the 2 year period.
Yep you are right, but that's still a !.335% pay cut and heading south . So I do apologise for my 1.2% mistake however if you work in delivery ,with the prospect of forced unpaid OT backed up by threat of conduct coding you will know that the 1hr reduction is meaningless.
As for the other guy been there ,seen that and got your pointless number :wink:
