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'

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 ) 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.
