How much do we get this year for Xmas Bonus?

Post by mostlyobesekev »

Hi I have just looked through the new pay deal and I was wondering if anyone knows how much the christmas bonus will be this year? I've heard that it should be £200 but I would like confirmation please?

Cheers

This question has been asked many times on here and the answer is the same every time. We will be getting £100 Christmas Bonus, £100 from Colleague shares and £200 for this new deal - all Pro rata.

We do have a search facility on here as well, its on the top right of most pages, If I suggest it would have helped you get an answer quicker. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/community/search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No idea the £200 linked to the deal never had a specific date, just that would get it before Christmas - but then there are only 2 pay days left till then.

If we don't get the £200 before xmas can we take them to court?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Graceeliza, you should get the £200 (pro rata) as the only stipulation on it appears to be that you were employed as of 1st October. As for the Christmas part, I dont know I'm afraid.

Quote from LTB 815/13
Additionally, the parties have agreed that all Royal Mail Group employees will be paid a £200 lump sum before Christmas.

There is no mention of it being pro-rata, if it is pro-rata then after tax this one off payment of four hundred will equal about eighteen months of union subs, not happy.

Is it genuine that we get £100 for the colleague shares? the reason I ask is that it was rumored last year that we would get it but it didn't happen. Another reason is that the area manager doesn't know anything about it ( no surprise there ) and the local rep also doesn't know about it ( which is a surprise )

We did get a £100 payment for colleague shares and it was also agreed as from xmas 2013 we would get £100 on top of our £100 xmas bonus.

So next week if you are full time you will have 3 lump sums in your wages £100,£100 and £200.

Yes it is confirmed and we did get it last year but in August ( or around there) not at Christmas
