Also, there is no requirement to be in a union.
A non-union member who left during the dispute should be entitled to compensation.
If you left and didn't take part in industrial action during 2022, NWR will still refuse you any bonus.
NONE of the terms imposed by NWR were in place during 2022.
BBC Headline:
RMT members at Network Rail vote to accept pay deal
20 March 2023
NWR say: Leavers during 2022 will not get back pay, as the dispute was still in play by all three unions.
The dispute was still in play until March 2023, but payments are being made from 1st Jan 2023 ???
NWR said: "All leavers arrears will be calculated after active employees have been reviewed and processed in full. This means if you are entitled to a payment, this will take place later in the year. At this time, this may be early summer." i.e. 2023
and then they changed their mind.
NWR said they didn't have the funds to pay everyone, therefore they shouldn't have agreed to a pay deal then.
Back pay is money earned after all. Maybe they'll have funds this year :?:
HPS must be paid as it was part of EU law (so no escape)
I believe NWR and the RMT had a meeting and changed the qualifying date for back pay from March 2023 to 1st Jan 2023.
As the RMT were part of the delay themselves, maybe they would like to pay for those who left in 2022
Hopefully this escalates and becomes the next P.O. scandal !!!
NWR's line in the sand is 31st Dec 2022. Leave on or before that date and you won't receive backpay for 2022 or any uplift regarding the Final Salary (RPS) pension.
"employers risk human rights claims if they treat employees who went on strike worse than their colleagues."
The principle would also apply to backpay then. (when no condition was in place that affected leavers during 2022)
“Our position was made very clear — any discretionary payments would...
That was a known condition that you may not receive any Bonus if you took strike action.
NWR are now refusing to pay if you didn't take strike action and weren't employed during Aug 2023!
The millions they must waste on outsourcing and covering shifts by RDW's!
Again, where was the condition that stated during the qualifying year if you left you'd jeopardize any bonus?

For a company that has at its core the principles of communication and a "clear understanding" this is a mess alright.
They have already changed the cut-off date from March 2023 (RMT accepted deal) to 1st Jan 2023.
During 2022 was there a communication which stated anyone who left during 2022...
Bonus for 21/22 should be paid this Friday. The question is whether eligible leavers will be paid Friday or later or not at all!
Payment of GPRP for 21/22 will be on 18 August 2023 for HRMS (Oracle) and 1 September 2023 for PSE payroll
For colleagues paid via HRMS (Oracle) we expect to pay...
If you have not received the Performance Related Pay GPRP, the decision has been made to make a payment to employees who supported Network Rail through their positive attendance throughout days of industrial action. If you were not in positive attendance on any day of industrial action, no...
So if you worked alongside another colleague who left during 2022, they would receive 0% "backdated" pay rise for their service.
If you left Jan 2023 onwards you would receive (backdated) 5% increase (Jan-Sep 2022) plus an additional 4% (from Oct 2022).
They should have at least paid all leavers...
"All leavers arrears will be calculated after active employees have been reviewed and processed in full. This means if you are entitled to a payment, this will take place later in the year. At this time, this may be early summer."
The expectation was that leavers would be paid later and there...
It's like NWR don't understand the definition of "backdated". The agreed pay rise now applies from Jan 2022 i.e 5% from January then an additional 4% from Oct 2022.
If you retired during 2022 and had a Final Salary Pension (based on the previous 12 months average) will they deprive you of any...
