A '£20 incentive' was offered to Manchester Airport workers to skip their breaks during a busy weekend shift.
Manchester Airport is currently experiencing staff shortages, which have led passengers being told that they could face long queues for "several weeks". Among those delayed were those who reported an hour wait on a landed TUI plane before it taking up to two hours to collect their luggage on Sunday.
The Manchester Evening News reports that a busy afternoon in Terminal 1 on Sunday led to an email sent to certain staff, offering them a £20 payment to skip their breaks. An employee who contacted the M.E.N said the email came from 'Resource Planning' and warned of a busy afternoon in Terminal 1 on Sunday (March 27). The message appeared to offer colleagues working with a scheduled break between 1pm and 7pm a £20 payment and 1.5 rate overtime to forgo their break.
