Grievenace Procedure

[MinisterofCucumber]

Postghost,

You are correct about how our union should behave. Sadly, this is not happening. What I am trying to do is show fellow postal workers how to defend themselves under our current circumstances:

Intranet access - policies and procedures

Grievance procedure

Expert advice from sites like RMC.

You should not have had a stage 1 issued as they can't count AOD's.

But they do Sid, I had a Stage 3 RTU because of an AOD

Yet no one has produced the link to the agreement on accidents at work being discounted

Attendance Procedure

1. INTRODUCTION

This procedure is designed to help Royal Mail serve our customers by encouraging the high standards of attendance normally achieved and maintained by the vast majority of employees so that a reliable staffing base can be maintained. It:

· applies to frequent and/or lengthy absences from work (whether covered by a self-certificate or a Doctor's Certificate) because of medical conditions which do not justify Medical Retirement;

· applies to all employees of Royal Mail except casual/seasonal staff;

· consists of a series of stages at which employees will be encouraged, through advice and guidance, to improve their pattern of attendance to an acceptable standard.

The stages are progressive and specifically intended to help employees maintain appropriate patterns of attendance, and so avoid more formal action which may lead to dismissal.

At every stage of the procedure there is an opportunity for employees to provide an explanation for their absence(s) and for mitigating factors to be fully taken into account. Accidents which happen in the course of Royal Mail work would normally be discounted.

Yeah sorry mate, I should have acknowledged that you were actually doing a good turn here helping someone out

And that one word can be twisted and manipulated a thousand ways.

And that one word can be twisted and manipulated a thousand ways.

However anyone appealing a dismissal at Stage 3 because of an AOD could use this thread as an argument in their favour, or even at an ET.
