Part Absence?
Can anyone confirm if a part absence is still discounted from the sick procedure? I do remember reading it several years ago but, can anyone point me to the doc that mentions this?

Yes it's discounted,but if they get regular they can bust you for it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Part Absence?
Is there a document showing that part time absences are discounted?

Absences that straddle review periods
Missed Triggers
Part day absences
Part Day Sick Absences
If an employee arrives at work but after 1 hour or more felt too ill to continue working and so went home this would constitute a part day absence.
There is no blanket requirement for self certificates for part day absences or Doctors/Dentists appointments which cannot be taken outside working hours,although with the latter appointment cards should be shown/made available.
Where managers have reasonable grounds to suspect that abuse by an individual is taking place or the frequency becomes unacceptable then self-certification may be required.The employee concerned will be told in advance that this will be a future requirement and that such absences may count towards triggering stage warnings.
Warnings will not be triggered based on part day absences unless the employee has been asked to certify such absences and informed that they will count in future.

Re: Part Absence?
As long as you returned the following day it will not be counted.heckster wrote:i had to go home ill the other day after approx two and a half hours, is this day definately not counted as an absence?

As long as you are not on trial it's 2 absences or 10 days in any 6 month period within the following 12 months to trigger the next stage.
