An Post is on the brink of a new productivity deal that will secure major savings in the company’s E38 million yearly overtime burden. An Post’s collection and delivery staff have been offered a 4 per cent productivity allowance and an increase in pay scales to be allocated as savings are achieved, in return for accepting flexible work practices, according to the deal seen by The Sunday Business Post. A 2.4 per cent pay increase would be introduced after 12 months provided that 46 per cent of savings are achieved, while a further 4.2 per cent would kick in after 24 months when a target 90 per cent of savings are achieved. Considerable progress has been made by the Labour Court in resolving a bitter dispute over An Post’s cost-cutting strategy and the non-delivery of pay increases due under national wage deal.
