maybe covered under the equalities act depending on what the illness was, also will depend on when these days off occurred he maybe just outside the time limits to trigger a stage warning

No I just wondered coz I thought U was allowed 4 abscences within 12 months then its a stage. He has had nice individual days. Just wondered coz if so surely anyone can do that?

so are you saying you think that these sick days are not genuine? and from the second part of the statement are you looking to do the same?

i think you will find there is a specific reason why he has not been issued a stage warning, probably has an illness which is covered under the equalities act or even he has simply not telling anyone he got a stage warning, as unless he tells you there is no way to know for sure he hasnt got it

You still get the interviews when you are on DDA, at least I do, I'm on a permanent stage 2 due to depression, every time I get a stage 3 it gets knocked back to a stage 2, it's madness, and a complete waste of time and resources, so yes the system is flawed, and going to the interview is stressful, which causes anxiety, which causes depression, so I need time off to get over it, ad infinitum. :cuppa

Why do so many people in Royal Mail feel the need to have to know other peoples business in the work place? I have never worked in a place so full of sheer nosey interfering people.

People's sick record or reason for being off work is no business of anyone else. :no no
