I spoke to several managers prior to deciding how to vote in the ballot for strike action and they told me that it is definately not. (in fact, one said, your variable pay is not part of your contract, so the MTP will not be either)
Apologies if this has been covered already: Are people (and sorry Sam, I don't mean you I mean the people you have spoken to) talking at cross purposes? Surely the calculation method for your variable pay is described in your contract but no figure is placed on this, otherwise if you didn't work you'd still be paid it.
