JOINT STATEMENT
Underpinning Incentive Payment 2015
You will be aware that a commitment was agreed in 2012 to develop an incentive scheme covering all CWU grades across the business, including Parcelforce Worldwide.
This commitment introduced an ongoing £100 underpinning payment that would be paid in addition to any existing productivity or incentive schemes. The relevant section of the agreement is reproduced below:
“From 2013 onwards, in Royal Mail an underpinning £100 payment will be paid as an ongoing increase to the current Christmas bonus. For those CWU represented grades in Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide who do not receive the Christmas bonus, the following will apply: they will either receive the ongoing £100 as a payment in December of each year, or alternatively both parties can agree separate arrangements for this ongoing payment.”
Parcelforce Worldwide and the CWU want to take this opportunity to recognise the hard work and contribution made by everyone to keep Parcelforce at the forefront of the industry by providing excellent customer and quality of service in an extremely competitive market
Against that backdrop consistent with the £100 underpinning agreement and in recognition of the contribution you have made, we are pleased to confirm that the £100 lump sum (pro-rata for part time workers) for 2015 will be paid in December salaries to eligible employees.
