Performance related pay is not going ahead. As of yesterday the trial was cancelled, staff were given letters and end of story.
What might happen in the future, looking at 6 - 12 months down the line is a performance related bonus which is standard to all handling agents for meeting ontime performance. I.e. the company is given a bonus by the airline it handles for meeting targets.

Thanks for the commentrs about the nickname
Roland, just read your post. Despatchers in the uk are not required to hold an official licence by CAA. Despatchers for easyjet do have a one month training course and I believe several are also ppl qualified. Also easyjet is participating in the ICAO Flight OPS/ Despatch course (see thread in crewing/despatch forum) which starts at the end of september. Although not mandatory many staff are taking the opportunity to study for this qualification.
