August bonus boost for Post Office Admin and Supply Chain members

Postal, Post Office (PO)

Wednesday 5th August 2020

“Dedication, hard work and excellent service” by hundreds of Post Office workers has earned them summer bonus payouts of just under £900, reports CWU assistant secretary Andy Furey.

Admin grades will pocket an extra £874.62 in their August salaries (pro-rata for part-time staff), while their Supply Chain colleagues are in line for £887.31 (pro-rata for part-time) – in what Andy has described as “a welcome recognition of their superb efforts.”

The two remuneration schemes differ slightly, but in each instance the payments are either fully or partly aligned to the Post Office’s EBITDAS (profit) target, which reached 97.18 per cent of target for the financial year 2019/20.  For Supply Chain members, 50 per cent of the bonus is also based on quality of service and compliance targets, which were once again met this year.

“Our members in these two grades have done extremely well to get so close to the full bonus payment – and this is some good news in light of the awful pandemic” explains our CWU national officer.

“Despite all the difficulties encountered, our members have continued to provide an excellent service through their hard work and dedication and these bonus payments are a welcome recognition of their commitment.

“Well done everyone – and I hope this brightens your summer.”
