Part timer bonus

[Changethenamey]

I’m a long standing employee, currently working part time due to having young children. Last month the company kindly offered a one off payment of £1000 to all employees due to the rapid cost of living. I was emailed to inform me that mine would be pro rata due to my part time hours and gave me the figure to expect. At first I was ok with this but as the weeks have gone by I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed - this was not a performance related bonus (totally agree they should be pro rata to reflect hours put in) this was specifically addressed as to help with COL. Sadly my fuel prices are not pro rata.

Is this discriminatory towards the part time workers or one of those things I have to take on the chin as a part timer?

Of course it should be pro rata. I’m PT 24 hours a week with FTE being 36. I always get 2/3 of whatever is going. Leave, BH, pay rises, bonus.

We got 1500 for the year as a one off, I say we, because that was FTE, I got 1000.

Maybe by bringing this up they'll consider making the Christmas bonus pro rata - that will make you feel so much better!
