Please do or else we'll be left with this pile of horse manure as the end result. Don't get me wrong, 3% on basic plus 2% for accepting plus 3(sort-of)% for OJTI plus 0.75% for delay improvements plus another 2.25% bonus (totalling 11% I do declare) is not to be sniffed at but I will most certainly vote against it because of
a) too many bonuses which are all out of my control;
b) these bonuses are not relected in your bread & butter basic pay which affects the impact of EVERY subsequent pay increase;
c) these bonuses do nothing to increase my pension (double-edged, this one- there's less money in the CAAPS to go missing pst-PPP);
d) OJTI is a bit grey at the minute but if it is in any way linked to validations at your unit then for anyone outside the centres it's a pittance. And do you get this every year or is it payable on a yearly, individually negotiated basis?
e) as previouly asked, who is going to set the targets on which these bonuses are based? Not anyone with a hint of impartiality!
Please don't let your Manager or your IPMS rep be allowed to think that we will swallow this- if they can afford 11% in bonuses then they can afford 11% on BASIC! Bottom line, that's what we want! It's on the table, the money is there so give it to us in a form that we want (acknowledging an adjustment is required to allow for NATS part of the pesion contribution).
