royal mail freebie
 

this is surely taking the p!ss , if they dont turn up just sack em , dont reward them with cars for going to work :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: royal mail freebie
 

Just don't pay them when they take sick leave.

Re: royal mail freebie
 

but what bout the real sick people? If i wasnt paid if i was really sick then it wouldnt bother me that much... but im sure it would for other ppl with genuine reasons. The fact that u dont pay them leads to even less productivity so your back where ur started.

Re: royal mail freebie
 

yup good idea , not :rolleyes:

Re: royal mail freebie
 

Yet another Trollish post which seems to have the sole purpose of irritating people and causing arguments. :rolleyes:

Re: royal mail freebie
 

That is a good point. Maybe have the people fill in forms the day after to ensure they actually were sick?

Re: royal mail freebie
 

Erm and what has brought about this thread anyway?

Re: royal mail freebie
 

So what's new - It's Jerrek. Better to ignore a headache

Re: royal mail freebie
 

So will taking nurofen help? :D

Re: royal mail freebie
 

If Jerrek takes enough of it! :angel:

Re: royal mail freebie
 

i dont understand how you would distinguish genuine from people doing absentism... Anyone can fill in forms.

I would get someone to visit the people off and make sure they're really ill. Maybe not all the times, but randomly. That way it doesnt take up too much time and if someone is off ill genuinely then a check will confirm that and future checks to the person will be likely to be genuine too. But to stop them from taking advantage of that, the random checks come in.

I used to work at Royal Mail . So as far as I'm concerned. They can go and F--k themselves and shove the cars, where the sunshines the most. :D

Re: royal mail freebie
 

do me a favour my mate , link to the posts you are commenting on and i might be able to follow you a bit easier :angel: :)

Re: royal mail freebie
 

I agree it's silly to offer 'bribes' to attend work, but I've worked somewhere where someone did have a 'quiet word' about how a few 'sickies' shared out, could result in us, also, sharing the resulting call out & overtime. 'keep it below 10 days a year & you'll be ok' :erm:

and my reply was in previous post which was "It's a p--s take. If your healthy and your a golden blue eyed boy your :tu: But if you have day off or week ect off ill then your :td:

Re: royal mail freebie
 

It used to be quite a common occurence in the Yorkshire mills for workers to be paid a bonus for not being late for work and not taking days off sick. The only difference with what Royal Mail are doing is that they are pooling the money and offering a chance to win a prize worth thousands of pounds rather than a couple of pounds extra if not pooled. The only problem with these schemes is that one day off sick and there is no incentive to make the effort for the rest of the period.

Re: royal mail freebie
 

i was reading this on the BBC site earlier on yesterday (before anyone says anything i am not an affiliate of them :p: ) personally i cannot see a problem with this.

the incentive is to ensure people who attend work consistantly are in line for possible rewards because of the hours they put in.

royal mail as a service cannot afford to lose the 10,000 workers at one time it claims, so its an enticing prospect to offer its workers something back.

before they start claiming they want more money i would like to see how much they actually get, each job has its price.
