Reducation in income and IPA

Queen

Hi, both myself and hubby both BR, had IPA set to start 01st Oct for £85 for me and £65 for hubby, however I expect my wages for Sept to be about £87 less due to reduced bonus/commission when they re-calculate this how will this be worked out my surplus was £170 will then reduce this by my loss of income or reduce the whole payment by £84 also will they reduce my contribution on on hubby's by same amount

Hello Queen - I was thinking of you the other day and was wondering how you were getting on.

I assume that this is going to be a regular reduction every month?????
But the IPA - if the OR included both incomes for both IPAs then you would obviously argue that both should take into account the reduction in income now.

Hi Skylight,

Thank you for thinking about me, I am good, thanks for comments I will see what happens with pay just don't think we will hit our targets and has I am paid basic salary plus bonus for targets.

Hi Queen - I was wondering how you were getting on too! I would make sure to tell the OR you had reduced income this month - is it likely to last?

Queen

Hi Fiveyearplan,

Its nice to know how many people care about other peoples situations its so nice, not sure if it is likely to last I work in finance so we have been badly hit, my OH was off work 2 weeks ago for 3 days without pay I havn't told OR about loss of 3 days pay the less they have to re-look at figures the better, I have heard people advising change in circumstances and they end up having IPA increased etc but if mine is going to be more then one month I will have to

Well if they pay decrease isn't likely to last you're right - best not let them look into figures too closely again!

well what a coincidence(sp) i was wondering how things were going for you queen too. You have been mighty quiet lately,thought it was going well. Sorry OH has been poorly hope he is better now.Dx

Queen

Thank you for all thinking about me we seem to be having a normal leave at the mo hubby seems back on the road to recovery he has been back at work since Nov odd days here and there off due to illness but on the whole doing really well, infact his employers are sending back on site work from this work see how he goes as long as he takes it easy and keeps on top of his medication he should be ok which is one less stress, when I look back at this time last year I don't know how I kept going, all I can say its the support of you guys and gals that have kept me sain a big THANK YOU :j to all of you xxxx

Glad your OH is doing well. Yes, it is amazing how much stress we can live through and we don't even realise the extent of the stress until it is taken away.

I know my blood pressure over the last 18 months has been higher than they would like, but last week when I had it checked it was normal thank goodness a sign things are getting back to normal what ever that is I have spent so long worrying about things that I am not sure what normal is, I guess having a good night sleep and not having a heart attack everytime the phone rings

Stress does take its toll on health - glad your health is improving before anything serious happened! It does make you realise whats important in life - health, friends and family - all the rest is just wrapping.
