WTF Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 no surprise there then, they should bus them up en mass. by the time they are happy with a travel allowance they will be car sharing and ending up better off. do all civil servants get paid expenses for travelling to work??

molly Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Will prison staff that live closer to the new prison get a pay cut now they wont have to travel as far to work? thought not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanxfella Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Will prison staff that live closer to the new prison get a pay cut now they wont have to travel as far to work? thought not. Many didn't object to other incentives though. I hear there are lots of new motors going around (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilDDog Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Erm, who gets paid paid on here to travel to work? I bet if there was a poll up on here most, if not all would say no they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a more pertinent question be who on here has had their employer move to the other side of the island, and did they get an recompense in their salary?

TerryMcCann Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Erm, who gets paid paid on here to travel to work? I bet if there was a poll up on here most, if not all would say no they don't. I do. And the best bit is that despite getting extra cash I walk in every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Angela Moffat, of Prospect, said: "Our members do not wish to make money out of the relocation. "Only people who now have extra distance to travel will be compensated for the additional expense they will incur, and only then for an interim period. Uhh what? Or am I reading that wrong?

The Frog Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 'Officers have been offered 40p per extra mile they will travel over a period of three years, payable in a lump sum'... they already get paid a travel allowance...? THEY GET PAID FOR DRIVING TO WORK? FFS... but noooooo, they want more, coz they have been massively inconvenienced by moving 20 odd miles up the road! Fookin Tossers. Don't like it, then time to move on. ‘Restructures’, 'relocations' go on all the time in the private sector, and most are happy enough to come out of it with their jobs intact. Wouldn't know hard times if it bit you on the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I would hope that as IOM government employees their stated place of work would be in the IOM, and so no need for compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_pele_ Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hurrah!, I got intel on this The petrol allowance is to compensate them for traveling to Jurby. There are staff who now have to buy a car for work as they used to walk previously. There is no bus link for staff to reach Jurby (I think it's either 7.00 or 7.30am) in the morning. They are on call 24 hours a day and have to attend when told to, even at night Specialist Private contractors can make 73p a mile allowance MHK's can make 52p a mile Those staff who live in Ramseyor close to the prison, would not get paid an allowance Having said all that, none of us will able to afford petrol soon anyway, so any chance that flybee will be flying them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Having said all that, none of us will able to afford petrol soon anyway, so any chance that flybee will be flying them in Shock new breaking news! New Jurby prison is to close - and be turned into appartments. The contract with Fly MayBe has ben torn up - due to them not getting the extra 7,000 quid they wanted to move a shed to Jurby (thats per mile) from the airport, to house a check in terminal for prison staff. They will remain in Vic Road, which will get some new net curtains, and a lick of paint to bring it up to modern standards. After all, it was praised as the best prison in the British Isles in a report in 1907. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but what about the people from Peel, Port Erin, Ramsey, etc who have been travelling to Douglas for years. If they wanted to work at the prison in Douglas they had to get there under there own steam didn't they? I really can't see them getting paid to travel to where they of work.
