the bonus and contracts

Post by kimski1976 »

so our revision is happening soon. i am a temp 40 hour person for almost 1 year now. 3 years before as 20 hour perm. i was just wondering about the likely possibility of been shifted back down to 20 hours after the revision, during or maybe before. i know bonus's are payed pro rota which sucks. before the new aggreement went through and we all voted, i was 40 hrs, and i will of been 40 hours at least until the revision has started (maybe after). if they put me back down to 20, would i still be entitled to the full bonus as i was full time during the revision and all the changes etc? like when you accumulate holidays etc.

Probably goes by the time the bonus is payed ie if you are 40 hours you get 40hrs worth, if you get moved down and the bonus is payed, then probably 20hrs.

They do what they like basically.

cheers pat you confirmed what i thought. do you think if they did this then i would have a chance of getting this from a legal point of view. its not so much the money, but i just think royal mail should pay bonus, ot, everything etc where its due. its the principle.

I think you would have a case for the last three months from the moment the bonus was paid.

(Look at what your average hours were for the last three months, before the bonus is due). Still, I cannot confirm this but I do believe its what ACAS recommend.

What is your contracted hours?
Bonuses are paid on contracted hrs not hrs worked.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
