Amybody??? I am Interested to know aswell. Also does anyone know how much London allowance do Upminister get?
Have either of you googled it? There are definitely photos of various Upminster IECC workstations online.
Have either of you searched this thread? I posted some info on the roster and staffing levels for this very link a couple of weeks ago.
Don't want to sound rude, but it's basic research...
Re allowances, the band for Inner London is 0-16 miles from Charing Cross, and according to a generic railway mileage calculator, Upminster is 22.6 miles away. If that's correct, it'd be Outer London allowance (£2430pa last time I had it, a couple of years ago).
Is there not a maximum time you can be ‘held on’ to, which is only normally exceeded in dire circumstances? There certainly used to be. Even then, you’ll get the higher rate of pay from the date the transfer should have happened even if you don’t move.
At least that’s how it used to work, cost me a fortune.
Not sure, BR.
You can claim Higher Grade Pay after 3 months, but if there is a
maximum time, it's either a couple of years or LOMs seem to be experiencing a lot of dire circumstances! I've known people who've waited over two years in some cases.
The best case I've encountered was a Grade 5 relief who accepted a G9 job at Wimbledon as the company had announced that all the boxes on the line he worked were going into a workstation at the local ROC. Naturally, he claimed HGD pay ASAP and raked it in at G9 + 24% (for working mainly G2/G3 boxes!) while that part of the resignalling scheme was first delayed by a year, then eventually cancelled at the eleventh hour. Management then offered him a golden handshake to stay, and he got to keep all the money. Given that he never really wanted to move in the first place, a pretty decent result
