On-time mail seals bonus

AUSTRALIA Post’s 32,700 employees will be paid a $300 bonus each for a combined total of almost $10 million.

The bonus payment follows a KPMG accounting firm report which shows the corporation set a 96 per cent record for delivering mail on time or early in the 2001-02 financial year.

But Australia Post is in dispute with the Postal Workers Union over attempts to have some staff placed on sick leave for non-work related problems, including being overweight.

Australia Post also grabbed headlines last month when a call centre worker had a $3000 pay rise disqualified for having too many personal items on her desk. After a public furore, the corporation suspended its decision.

Australia Post last week announced a 5 increase in the price of a stamp to 50 from next year.

Yesterday it denied any link between the price rise and the $10 million bonus.

Australia Post spokesman Jim Marshall said “exceptional achievement” and the “hard work and dedication of staff” were the reasons for the bonus.

Queensland mail was early or on time in 96.6 per cent of deliveries in the March quarter this year, improving to 97.5 per cent in the June quarter.

Nationally, the June quarter performance was a record 97.1 per cent. KPMG also found 99.2 per cent of mail was delivered within an extra day of the service performance commitment.
