Hmm, respect - a word the management do not seem to know when it comes to the workforce.
The small payment is almost 50% of the pay rise we got in January if you claim the full HTD. Pity we did not know about it when we voted for the pay issue.
I'm not actually sure it is correct. I may be wrong but I don't think there is any direct reference to home to duty payment in a NATS contract. I'm happy to be proven wrong on that... but I would suggest it's merely custom and practice and not actually a legal entitlement. NATS could, after all, have just told us they were ceasing it with no lump sum. As long as they give 3 months notice there's nothing to stop it.
So all in all I'd suggest just taking the money next month and forgetting all about it
