Joint Statement Between The CWU and Royal Mail Group: Update On Systemisation & Backpay of Average Pay On Annual Leave (Holiday Pay) For Royal Mail Property & Facilities Solutions Limited (RMPFSL) Employees.
Branches, Representatives and members will recall LTB 079/23 (Letter to Branches) issued on the 24th March which set out the National Agreement Between the CWU and Royal Mail Property & Facilities Solutions Limited (RMPFSL) On Regular Holiday Pay.
In line with the National Agreement, we have now agreed the following Joint Statement which provides an update on the inclusion of CWU represented grades within RMPFSL on the overtime holiday pay system-calculated payroll programme as of April 2023 and an update on backpay arrangements.
The terms of the Joint Statement are self-explanatory and reflect the same Holiday Pay payroll arrangements for members in RMPFSL with the rest of Royal Mail Group, and the initial target backpay dates. It is necessary however to draw Branches and member’s attention to the following paragraph: ‘In the event of any conflicting priorities facing payroll, further discussions between RMPFSL and CWU will be held, with further communications issued. For holiday taken April 2023 onwards, the system solution approach will apply.’ In short, this means the outlined dates for backpay may be subject to a slight delay in the event of any wider payroll priorities which may occur during the month of May.
Equally, from this point on, where individuals meet the Holiday Pay eligibility criteria around regularity of overtime, overtime Holiday Pay (including Holiday Pay for part time members which meet the criteria with respect to hours worked up to full time) will be paid in the month the holiday falls.
