Dear Customer

As you are aware, due to Post Office Limited’s policy of the closure of Post Office’s across the country this now affects you? You’ve seen it on TV, heard it on the Radio and read it in the newspapers. Post Office Limited has now decided it’s your turn and it’s all with the blessing of the current Government.

• The Borough Post Office, your Post Office is closing
• Post Office management say it will move to Costcutters, but the staff will NOT
• The reason Costcutters wants the Post Office is because Costcutters wants you to buy goods from them.
• Post Office Limited are quite happy for you to travel half a mile to the next Post Office
• Costcutters will be situated in due course in Southwark Bridge Road
• Inaccessible by public transport

Is this the way YOU should be treated in the 21st Century? By a public service YOU own. If the answer is NO then write to: -

Pay agreement 28.11.07
Please print and display on your noticeboard

1. Why is this pay agreement for three years?
We have worked together to develop a three year pay offer that allows us to ensure that everyone will receive at least part of the pay increases for this period as a consolidated increase.

2. In the previous offers all DBMs, POs and RAs were due to receive a lump sum Saturday Premium buy-out regardless of whether or not they worked Saturdays. Why has this changed?
We have amended the pay offer to use the available money to ensure that those who currently earn Saturday Premium are better compensated for its eventual withdrawal. In April 2009 people who have earned Saturday Premium during 2008/09 will receive a lump sum of 3.5 x the amount that they have actually earned during this year.

We believe this approach is fairer in compensating those who have actually worked on Saturdays. They also have the added benefit of being able to continue earn Saturday Premium until April 2009.

3. Are the lump sum payments pensionable?
No, but as POs, DBMs and RAs will receive some of their pay increases as lump sums rather than consolidated rises, from April 2009 a “nominal salary” for pensionable purposes will be created. This nominal salary will be 6.7% higher than base salary for POs (and DBMs who choose the PO buy down option), 1.2% higher than base salary for RAs on mid and 3.3% higher than base salary for RAs on max. This means that this higher salary would be used to calculate final salary payments on retirement, and should there be changes to the pension scheme following the consultation exercise, the nominal pension would also apply going forward. Pension scheme members who choose to accept this option would be required to make employee pension contributions at the normal rate but based on this higher nominal salary. The Post Office will also make pension contributions based on this higher salary. This arrangement would cease on promotion to a higher salary band.

4. If the offer is accepted when will the increases and lump sums be paid?
We hope that we will be able to pay the lump sums in December pay packets, on 24 December, and also include a back pay lump sum for October, November and December to those who are due a consolidated rise. The changes to basic pay for those receiving a consolidated rise will be included in January pay.

5. Can the lump sums be paid in instalments rather than in one go?
Yes, if this offer is accepted colleagues can choose to have any lump sum payments they are due, paid over a 12 month period.  You will need to notify us if this is your preferred option and details of how to do this will follow.

6. Will all pay be equalised by April 2010?
By April 2010 all Crown colleagues pay will be equalised, except for any DBMs who opt to stay on their current pay rate rather than taking the lump-sum PO buy-down payment. These colleagues are likely to have part of any increase negotiated at April 2010 as a lump sum payment until their pay is equalised with the Customer Service Consultant – advanced level.

7. The proposed pay offer is dated from 1 October 2007, so is there no pay increase for the last six months?
Whilst the agreement is for three years, the changes will come into effect from 1 October 2007 rather than April 2007. By starting the changes from 1 October, the CWU and the Post Office have been able to construct an offer which gives a higher percentage increase than would have been possible if the agreement was to be backdated to April.

8. Are the lump sums pro-rata for part-time colleagues?
The lump sums in lieu of pay rises for POs, DBMs and RAs will be pro-rata for part-time colleagues. These payments will be calculated using actual hours up to full time equivalent rather than contracted hours so that if you regularly work more than your contracted part-time hours you will not be disadvantaged. The calculation will be based on the 12 months up until the end of September 2007.

9. Will colleagues who have moved from full time to part time this year receive the full lump sum pay increase, or will it be pro-rated?
Part time colleagues at the time of acceptance of the pay offer will receive a pro-rata payment of the lump sum pay increase, based on their actual hours up to full time equivalent rather than contracted hours. The lump sum increase will be paid in lieu of a consolidated pay rise until April 2008, so it is fair that it will be based on the current hours that a colleague works.

10. Will the lump sums have to be paid back if colleagues leave the business before 2009?
No, once the lump sums have been paid, they will not have to be paid back.

11. If someone leaves the business prior to April 2009, will they qualify for a proportionate amount of the final lump sum (3.5 x 2008/2009 actual earnings of Saturday Premium)?
This payment will only be paid to people who are still employed by the Post Office on 1 April 2009 as the Saturday premium lump sum is to compensate for potential future earnings. Although they won’t get a lump sum, colleagues who qualify for Saturday premium but leave the Post Office before April 2009 will be paid Saturday Premium up until they leave.

12. As Saturday premium will be paid until April 2009, will there be any increase to the current rate?
Saturday premium will continue to be paid at the current rate up until its removal in April 2009 and any increases in consolidated pay will not flow through. For colleagues outside London the Saturday premium rate will however increase as a result of the reduction to the working week, and the associated increase in the hourly pay rate.

13. Is Saturday Premium pensionable?
Yes, up until its removal Saturday Premium is pensionable.

14. Will people taking up a Financial Services Specialist role still qualify for Saturday Premium until April 2009? Is this the same for current CSAs as well as POs?
People who are appointed to a Financial Services Specialist role who previously qualified for Saturday Premium (RAs, POs and DBMs) will receive Saturday Premium for the hours they work on Saturdays until the end of March 2009. This will not apply to CSAs who do not currently attract Saturday Premium payments.

15. As the pay offer is dated 1 October, will colleagues at converting branches who are in post at this date and subsequently take VR still qualify for the lump sum payments?
Colleagues taking VR will qualify for the lump sum payments if they are still employed by the Post Office when the offer is accepted (upon acceptance any pay increases will be backdated to 1 October).  If however they leave before the offer is accepted they will not qualify for lump sum payments.

16. Will colleagues in converting branches receive the lump sum payments in lieu of consolidated rises to pay?
Yes, POs, DBMs and RAs in branches that are due to convert, but which have not yet done so at the time of acceptance of the pay offer, will receive the lump sum pay awards.

17. Will the sales and service continuity payment for colleagues in converting branches who took strike action now be paid?
All colleagues in converting branches, which are achieving 90% or more of target income at the time of conversion, will receive the £1000 sales and service continuity payment. This will apply to branches, which convert after the date of the pay offer, 20 November.

18. Will VR calculations for colleagues in converting branches be based on salaries plus the lump sum payments?
The lump sum payments are not consolidated, and so will not be taken into consideration when calculating VR payments for colleagues leaving the business.

19. What is a provincial branch?
We refer to a provincial branch as any branch located outside of London. Colleagues in London already work a 35-hour week.

20. Does the reduction in working hours for provincial colleagues also mean that their basic salary will be reduced by the equivalent of one hour each week?
The reduction in working hours means that although you will work for one less hour per week, this will not impact on your basic salary. This effectively means a rise in your hourly rate.

21. When will the reduction in hours be implemented?
Changing the working hours for each branch will be a very complex job, and it’s important that we get it right first time for everyone. We also have to factor in the working hours of the new Financial Services Specialists who take up their roles in January. We are working hard to resolve this, and will communicate the details as soon as possible. The target date is 7 January.

22. Due to the new weekly working hours, (35 instead of 36) will we have new contracts?
If the agreement is endorsed by the ballot, changes to contracts will be on a collective basis, so there is no requirement to issue new individual contracts.

23. If a DBM was promoted to the role of ABM in October, and the pay offer is from 1 October, will they receive the lump sums and buy down payments that DBMs still in their position will receive?
DBMs who have been appointed to an ABM role are now part of the management team, and will therefore benefit from the CMA pay deal, backdated to June 07.

24. With all the changes that are happening in branches, such as DBMs moving to PO and the introduction of Financial Services Specialists, what will happen if there are too many counter colleagues in the branch?
If there is a surplus of counter colleagues in the branch, then the normal BOSA rules will apply. We will first look to find a volunteer in the branch to move to a vacancy nearby. If there is no volunteer then we would look for the person for whom the move would be most practical. If there was no local vacancy, then the branch would remain with a surplus until one occurs.

25. When do DBMs have to decide whether or not they wish to accept the buy down to PO?
DBMs will be asked to let us know their decision  by 10 January 08, and details of how to do this will follow

26. Is the pay offer dependant on accepting the proposed changes to the pension plan?
Whilst we were originally discussing the pension proposals as part of our negotiations on pay, the CWU has now agreed a joint statement in relation to the consultation exercise across the entire group, therefore the two issues are now separate. Everyone now has the opportunity to put forward their views on the proposed changes to pensions during the consultation period which ends on 16 January 2008.
 
27. If the pay offer is accepted will there be an increase to London Weighting?
If the pay offer is accepted, with effect from 1 July 2007, the London Weighting allowance will be brought into line with Royal Mail Letters.

The increases to London weighting will be backdated to 1 July 07. Future increases to London weighting in Royal Mail Letters will flow through to Post Office Ltd.

28. Why are colleagues who took industrial action being refunded half of the bonus entitlement that was originally stopped?
The bonus rules refer to stoppages in terms of days rather than half days, and as part of the agreement on pay, the Post Office and the CWU have agreed that half of the bonus penalty for taking industrial action will be refunded. They have also agreed to remove this stoppage clause from the bonus scheme rules in the future and will be working together to review the scheme.

29. How can we ask questions about the pay offer?
The CWU are taking the lead in communicating this new offer, and their reps will be visiting branches to talk through any questions that you have. You can also ask your branch manager if you have any questions, or email questions to: communications.team@postoffice.co.uk or polpay2007@cwu.org.

30. What is the hotspot allowance, and why are we removing it?
The hotspot allowance (£745) is currently paid to CSAs in selected branches where we have had difficulty recruiting in the past. As the new Career Path offers a more attractive starting salary and opportunities for progression, the additional payment is no longer warranted. Colleagues in branches which will remain in the Crown network, and who currently receive this allowance, will receive a lump sum buyout payment of £2235. This payment, which equates to a buy out of 3 x the allowance, will be pro-rata for part-time colleagues based on the actual hours they have worked in the preceding 12 months. Colleagues in branches which will transfer to WHSmith in 2008, and who currently receive this allowance, will continue to be paid it until the time the branch transfers. They will not receive the lump sum buy-out unless they have chosen to remain with Post Office Ltd.

Pay agreement Additional Q&As 30.11.07
Please print and display these Q&As on your noticeboard

1. My former branch converted recently having met its sales and service targets but I did not receive the continuity payment as I took strike action during the summer, I am still employed by the Post Office will I now be paid the £1000?
Yes - we will be paying the continuity payment to all those colleagues from the 85 branches who are still employed by Post Office Ltd provided their branch met the sales and service targets.

2. My branch is transferring to WHS and I am moving to a branch that opens fewer hours on Saturday or does not open at all. What will happen to my Saturday premium buy down in April 2009?
Under the terms of MTSF you will be entitled to pay protection for your Saturday premium earnings for three years from the date of transfer. You will continue to receive this payment until the end of March 2009, at this point your actual Saturday premium earnings plus pay protected Saturday premium will be used to calculate your lump sum entitlement. You will receive 3.5 x this amount as your buy down and then any Saturday premium earnings and the Saturday premium pay protection will cease with effect from 31st March 2009.

3. Do the Saturday premium earnings for 2008/09 used to calculate the lump sum buyouts include Saturday premium earned whilst working overtime?
The 3.5x lump sums for the Saturday Premium buyouts will include any Saturday Premium earnings from overtime worked during 2008/09 and under the rules of BOSA POs will not be disadvantaged in the allocation of available overtime. From 1 April 2009 onwards there will be no premium rates for overtime worked on Saturdays for any Crown colleagues. The rate for overtime working for all counter and retail employees will be single rate.  
 
4. The pay offer includes a “nominal salary” for some grades. How does this work, and if it doesn’t start until April 2009, how can it be used to calculate the part of my pension that’s frozen in 2008?
The “nominal salary” is unique within the Royal Mail Group. It’s a new concept, which is designed to protect the pensionable pay for those colleagues who, for some of the pay increases proposed in the agreement, will receive lump sum payments in lieu of consolidated pay rises.

The proposals on the pension plan are currently in consultation and are not agreed at the moment. In the original pension proposals, the intention was to freeze the value of your pension in 2008, and this would then increase with inflation up until your retirement. This changed, and the version that has been put forward for consultation proposes that it is your reckonable service (i.e. the length of time you have been in the business) that is frozen and that this along with your final salary upon retirement is used to determine the actual value of your pension.

The size of the nominal salary is the equivalent to the amount of the pay increase that is paid as a lump sum. For POs and DBMs who choose to buy-down to PO grade this is 6.7%, for RAs on Mid it’s 1.2% and for RAs on Max it’s 3.3%. DBMs who choose to remain on their current salary rather than take the buy-down option will not be eligible for the ‘nominal salary’ as their basic (pensionable) salary will remain at a higher level than all other grades.
 
So taking the PO grade as an example, by creating this nominal salary, whatever your base pay is when you retire is increased by 6.7%, provided you are still on this grade when you retire, and this higher figure will be used to calculate what your frozen pension is worth.

In addition to this, if the proposed Career Average scheme is implemented, then for each year that you get the nominal salary, that year will be worth 6.7% more.

Of course, whilst Royal Mail Group as the employer is liable to pay its contributions on the increased amount, so do you. This will cost you approximately £6 per month.

If the pay agreement is endorsed by the ballot the intention is for everyone who is eligible for the ‘nominal salary’ scheme to be automatically entered into it. You will however be able to opt-out of this if you wish to, and we will let you know how to do this in due course. If you do opt out, you will continue to make pension contributions, and receive benefits, linked to your actual pay. If you decide to opt out you will not however be allowed to opt back in should you change your mind.

5. I am a DBM in a branch transferring to WHS and I have chosen to take VR, can I still have the lump sum of £3870 to buy down to PO grade?

This lump sum payment is to compensate DBMs for their loss of future earnings if they choose to buy down to the PO grade. Those DBMs who leave prior to 1 April 2008 will not be eligible to buy down to PO.
DBMs who take the lump sum on offer in January 2008 but leave the business before April 2010 will be required to pay back a proportion of the lump sum at a rate of £107.50 for every calendar month from their leaving date to the end of March 2010. Some examples are given below.

If you are planning to leave you would need to consider the impact of moving to PO grade on your VR package and deferred pension versus the benefit of the proportion of the lump sum.

Admin pay agreement Q&As

As the pay agreement is dated 1 October 2007, does the £1000 per annum increases for POs, mean that we will receive £500 between now and April 2008? If so, why wasn’t the pay agreement backdated to April?
Your basic pay will increase by £1000 per annum as shown in the tables. You will receive £500 of this increase at a rate of £83.33 a month between now and April 2008. This will increase your basic pay to £19,577 and in April 2008 you will receive a further rise of £300 per annum taking your pay up to £19,877.

If the agreement was backdated to April, the £500 increase (which is the money we have available this year) would be spread over 12 months at a rate of £41.66 a month. This pay rate would then carry through next year which means that if we had backdated the agreement to April your basic pay would be £19,077 rising to £19,377 in April 2008.

By starting the changes from 1 October, the CWU and the Post Office have been able to construct an agreement which gives a higher percentage increase than would have been possible if it was to be backdated to April.

The start date of 1 October 2007 is in keeping with the other pay agreements that have been negotiated across the business.

What has happened to the performance related bonus?
As part of last year’s pay agreement the bonus payment for admin colleagues was consolidated into basic pay. Prior to this the bonus payment was an ‘overlay’ of the Crown Office incentive scheme. The reason it was decided to consolidate this into basic pay was that, with the exception of trainers for whom the scheme continued, admin colleagues had no influence on the performance of colleagues in branches. The pay increase that you therefore received in 2006 included two elements – a percentage increase on your basic salary and an amount for the bonus scheme. The overall amount then became your basic pensionable pay, but this means that you are currently not part of a bonus scheme.

This arrangement has the benefit of making what you would potentially earn in a bonus scheme guaranteed and pensionable, however, the re-introduction of a bonus scheme for admin grades is something that the Post Office and the CWU are likely to discuss in the future.

In line with the rest of the business, you do have the potential to receive up to £800 this financial year from the ColleagueShare dividend.

Why does it seem that the Admin pay agreement has been rushed?
Whilst it may seem that this pay agreement, which was announced very soon after the agreement for Crown colleagues, was reached quickly, in actual fact admin pay was being considered at the same time as the other pay discussions in the business.

The pay agreements for Crown, Supply Chain, admin colleagues, and the agreements in Royal Mail, have a lot of similarities and represent what the Post Office and the CWU consider the fairest increases possible, taking into consideration the money available and the different challenges each part of the business faces.

Why does the Admin pay deal favour Postal Assistants more than Postal Officers?
Both the Post Office and the CWU are keen that everyone is rewarded fairly for the work they do. The CWU has over several years had an aspiration to move PA pay closer to PO pay. As part of this agreement, PAs have therefore received a proportionately greater increase as they have started from a lower base.

What does the reduction in working hours mean in terms of pay?
The reduction in working hours from 36 hours to 35 for colleagues outside of London means that full time colleagues will work fewer hours but for the same salary. This effectively means a rise in your hourly rate that will flow through to overtime and Saturday Premium.
Part-time colleagues outside London will continue to work the same number of hours but will benefit from this change by a 2.86% increase to their actual pay.

Will the compensation for Saturday Premium be based on average or individual earnings?
The lump sum buy out of Saturday premium in April 2009 will be 3.5x your actual Saturday premium earnings for the financial year 2008/09.

If the pay agreement is accepted will there be an increase to London Weighting?
If the pay agreement is accepted, with effect from 1 January 2008, the London Weighting allowance will be brought into line with Royal Mail Letters.

Future increases to London weighting in Royal Mail Letters will also flow through to Post Office Ltd.

POL Crown Offices – Demonstration

In view of the proposed franchising, by POL, of 85 Crown Offices, 70 of which to WH Smith and, thirteen of which are in the Greater London area, a demonstration has been organised in conjunction with the National Pensioners Convention - London. We need to ensure a good turnout for the event details of which are

12 noon, Wednesday 7th November

Outside Trafalgar Square Crown Post Office (Charing Cross)

Suitable publicity has been arranged for the event in conjunction with the Communications Department and a press release will be issued. Leaflets to hand to the public will also be made available at the event.

POL : SUPPLY CHAIN PAY AGREEMENT

The main features of the agreement are as follows

• PAs pay increased by £25 per week from 1st Oct 07 providing a pay rise of 8.62%

• POs / LAs salary increased by £1300 per annum from 1st Oct 07 providing pay rises of 6.88% / 6.73% respectively.

• Crew pay to be increased initially by £24 per week from 1st Oct 07 providing a pay rise of 6.11% with a further increase of £3 per week from 1st April 08 providing a total pay rise of £27 per week, equivalent to 6.87%

• LGV Drivers pay, including the allowance, to be increased by £35 per week from 1st Oct 07 providing a pay rise of 8.29% with a further increase of £5 per week from 1st April 08 providing a total pay rise of £40 per week, equivalent to 9.48%

• A one hour reduction in the working week from 7th Jan 08 as follows

• All crew – 37 hours net reduced to 36 hours net
• PAs / POs / LAs (outside London ) 36 hours net reduced to 35 hours net

NOTE:   Currently, PAs / POs / LAs based in London work 35 hours net.

• Crew and LGV Night Workers Night Duty Allowance, where all 36 hours fall within the 19:00 / 07:15 NDA period, to be consolidated into basic pensionable pay from 7th Jan 08 providing for increased hourly pay rates and Scheduled Attendance payments of 33.99% and 37.25% respectively.

• London Weighting to be increased for all grades from 1st July 07 to achieve parity with the Royal Mail rates, inclusive of the phased increases also applied in the Royal Mail Agreement of 5.4% from 1st Oct 07 and a further 1.5% from 1st April 08, providing the following overall increases:

• 23.74% for Inner London
• 35.73% for Outer London

• Defined Area Pay of £38.23 per week to be introduced for Crew grades from 1st April 08 in Hemel Hempstead only (this resolves the anomaly whereby Royal Mail grades are currently paid a Defined Area Payment and Supply Chain Crew grades were not).

• The Midway House Sunday Allowance will be increased for the 8 PAs in receipt of this allowance by the overall value of 23.82% by changing this allowance to be based upon 0.67% of the hourly pay rate.  This has the potential of providing an additional increase of £250 per annum for each individual.

• Scheduled Attendance rates for Crew will be increased overall by 9.84% by virtue of the combination of the pay rises and the introduction of the one hour reduction in the working week.  This will provide for the following rates from 1st April 08:

• Week day - £11.67 per hour
• Saturday and Sunday - £15.17 per hour

• All other allowances (other than hours related) will be increased by 6.2% from 1st Oct 07.  This includes the following allowances:

• Self Managed Unit
• Supervisory
• Call Out
• Defined Area Pay

• A new national productivity scheme with equal payments for all grades, based upon 50% of any cash savings above the staff cash budget, providing for two payments per year in November and May. 

The table below provides a summary of the agreed pay increases effective from 1st April 2008.

Tank Rolls in to Defend Greenwich Crown Post Office

Campaigners opposed to the sell-off of Greenwich Crown Post Office wheeled out their big guns today.


At 11am (Monday, July 12) a 16-ton tank rolled into position in front of the Greenwich High Road office as the centrepiece of a demonstration against Post Office plans to franchise the service.
The street-legal armoured vehicle  (an ex-British army Abbot FV433 self propelled gun, for all you tank-spotters out there) was decorated with banners urging customers to “Defend Greenwich Crown Post Office.”

The Communication Workers Union's Mole Meade , who represents staff in the office, said: “Hiring a tank to defend the office may seem a bit over-the-top but the point is that the Post Office should not underestimate the strength of opposition to the privatisation of this office.”

Ten directly-managed Crown/branch post offices have been closed or franchised in London in the last two years with more than 80 jobs lost or transferred. The Post Office is a publicly-funded business and must allow a period of public consultation before closing or franchising a post office.

“The decision to downgrade Greenwich is a knee-jerk reaction to the Post Office's current financial situation,” said Mole. ‘This office currently employs 10 counter clerks with more than 100 years combined experience. None of them wish to leave the business or relocate to different offices.

“The CWU has been working with local communities fighting the closure of Crown post offices around London for more than five years now and we have found the consultation process to be an utter sham. We have attended packed public meetings, taken part in letter writing campaigns and petitions, enlisted the support of MPs and councillors, all to no avail.

“The tank symbolises the strength of opposition to the privatisation of post office services here in Greenwich.”

CWU national officer Andy Furey said:
“The Post Office enjoys an unrivalled reputation in the UK, both as a public service and a focal point for communities.
The union is fighting to preserve the reputation of the service and its rightful place in the affections of the British people. That's why we resist these closures. It's sobering to think that doing this brings us into conflict with our employer, but, sadly, that is the case."
Greenwich Crown Post Office is sited in the midst of major tourist attractions, close to both overland rail and docklands rail links.  Greenwich is undergoing massive redevelopment involving new local housing, a huge hotel complex and the regeneration of the town centre. The staff — most of whom live locally — have unique local knowledge and the respect and trust of both local businesses and the community. Many of the traders fear that the loss of the Crown Office will impact badly on their businesses.
Local trader and chairman of the Friends of Greenwich Crown post office, Mick Gebbett , said: “The staff at Greenwich High Street are friendly and really know what they are doing. It's is a big office. I don't see why they can't expand the service rather than getting rid of it. You see lots of post offices tucked away in dingy corners of newsagents or mini markets but we don't want that to happen here.

“This area is developing rapidly. The Post Office should be thinking about ways of expanding the service at Greenwich instead of dreaming up ways of flogging it off or shutting it down.”

Greenwich Crown Post Office is at 261/7 Greenwich High Road near Greenwich station (Connex trains)
