04/January/2021
Description
You will be aware from our recent Conference the Union was seeking the consolidation of 2.5%
of the Change Allowance for Post Office Clerks and Postal Sorters as has previously applied
for Postal Operatives. I am pleased to confirm agreement with the Company, as summarised
below, the full text of which is attached to this circular.
Post Office Clerk pay scale and Change Allowance
This pay scale will have a new, additional increment at the maximum point, with effect from 1st January 2020. The new scale is set out at Appendix 1.
The Change Allowance in payment to serving Post Office Clerks will be reduced to 10% with effect from 1st January 2020. 83.67% of this allowance is pensionable.
Postal Sorter pay scale and Change Allowance – AMC/PMC and DSUs
This pay scale will have a new, additional increment at the maximum point, with effect from 1st January 2020. The new scale is set out at Appendix 1.
The Change Allowance in payment to serving Post Sorters will be reduced to 10% with effect from 1st January 2020. 83.67% of this allowance is pensionable.
Postal Sorter pay scale, Change Allowance and Retained Allowance DMC
As for all other Postal Sorters, this pay scale will have a new, additional increment at the maximum point, with effect from 1st January 2020, as set out at Appendix 1.
The Change Allowance in payment to serving Postal Sorters in the DMC will be standardised at 10% with effect from 1st January 2020. 83.67% is pensionable.
The Retained Allowance (RWA) will be standardised for all Postal Sorters in DMC in receipt of this, on a personal to holder basis.
For Postal Sorters with part-time contracts, they will retain an amount based on their existing pro-rata amount for this allowance, plus 2.5%.
The Company will make early arrangements to apply the revised pay scales and pay the arrears early in the new year. The Union is seeking to have the same arrangements extended to the remaining grades that have a 12.5% Change Allowance.
