Australian posties paid timely bonus
More than 32,000 Australia Post employees have received a $300 bonus for delivering the mail on time.
An audit by accounting firm KPMG found Australia Post set a performance record last financial year with 96.5% of standard mail reaching its destination on time or early.
Eligible award staff received the bonus under Australia Post’s current enterprise bargaining agreement.
Australia Post mail and networks manager Jim Marshall said the improvement in delivery performance was consistent across Australia.
“It is a tribute to the commitment and dedication of our workforce, whether they are posties, mail-processing staff or work in a post office,” he said.
“Their efforts have ensured that Australians continue to enjoy the services of one of the world’s leading postal organisations.”
KPMG audits Australia Post’s delivery performance every three months.
