Dear Colleague

RE: BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION PAY RELATED ISSUES - AREA DISTRIBUTION/COLLECTION EMPLOYEES IN MAIL CENTRES.

We can now confirm that outstanding issues relating to lump sum payments for Area Distribution and Collection Employees in Mail Centres have been concluded on the following basis.

Those units, who did not deploy the 2010/11 revision, will have the £200 linked to that revision amalgamated with the lump sum payment of £400 due on successful deployment of the 2011/12 revision. Where the 2011/12 revision has already been successfully deployed, Royal Mail is making arrangements to pay the outstanding £200 as soon as possible.

In cases where a revision has not been deployed in either 2010/11 and/or 2011/12 the outstanding lump sums will be amalgamated and paid on the successful deployment of the 2012/13 revision.

Where units have not deployed the 2011/12 revision, the Shorter Working Week or 2% pay award, which ever is appropriate, will be triggered at the same time as the deployment of the 2012/13 revision.

It is important that CWU representatives use the terms of this LTB to move forward any outstanding lump sum payment issues in their location.

Discussions are continuing on other pay related issues, including professional drivers in delivery. Further information will be reported in due course. Any enquiries regarding the content of the LTB should be addressed to the DGS (P) Department.

Yours sincerely



Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (P)
