Who to approach for alternative job due to injury

Post by realitybites »

Been confirmed by ATOS that redeployment is necessary due to injury. Dom says he is looking out for suitable employment elsewhere. This was 2 months ago and heard nothing. Am continuing with my present job on deliveries but pain is causing me great difficulty. Are there any other routes I should be using to secure a different position within the company like HR.

Are you not on light duties while you wait?

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.

Not on light duties, ATOS have said I should be doing half a walk. Not informed union rep as I thought I would have been re-deployed by now. So should my first course of action be informing my rep? Would contacting HR be of any benefit to me.

Technically that is I suppose light duties but if your condition is not improving or is getting worse then ask the DOM for an ATOS referral.

Yes - I would have informed him first and asked him to attend the meeting with the manager.

None unless you are checking up on regulations etc. HR are there for Pay, records etc, they have no input beyond that on Operational matters.

Thanks TBT, I'll get round to informing my rep tomorrow, at least if I go on half a walk it will help with the pain being able to slow down a bit and adapting my walking technique.
