Royal Mail faces wave of employment tribunals over delayed Christmas pay
Fri 27th Jan 12 - 15:37

Dozens of temporary sorting office workers say they have experienced serious delays and miscalculations in their pay over Christmas and the new year.

The problems appear to stem from failures in Royal Mail's new in-house recruitment agency, Angard Staffing Solutions, which struggled to cope with the 110,000 applications it received for 18,000 temporary Christmas jobs.

A Royal Mail spokesman says there have been payroll problems but that the "vast majority" of its temporary workers had been paid correctly and on time.
