Re: advice please.....
Did you notify them of your problems, if you did I would imagine unpaid leave would be the route, nothing more said. If not, unauthorised (unpaid) absence, possible conduct.

Should be unpaid dependent leave to care for next of kin wife/child as long as notification was followed.
My wife has had to have the last .... well all of my daughters sickness off as she is paid and we are not, plus its not worth the questions and paper work when you return !

As long as you informed them of the situation and knew you were being off you will be fine.
You have rights to special leave,You will (should) recieve 1 days paid leave and 1 day unpaid,If i were you fight for 2 days paid,But DO NOT accept less than 1.

Why should he receive 1 days pay at least,very curious on this one.

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.

Curious, why paid? I have kids and as much as I dislike the upper echelons, I would not expect to be paid for what is in essence, not RM fault.Theghost wrote:As long as you informed them of the situation and knew you were being off you will be fine.
