Nothing to with Royal mail until youve clocked on/signed in for the day, or after youve signed out.

You know full well you have to fill paperwork in to do a retention. Would you run to RM if you crashed your private car on the way to work?

No but you would be insured for loss of earnings
It’s about the staged warnings not compensation

not following, why would RM give you a warning for crashing your bike on the way to work?

What Hans is getting at is that his colleague has had an accident on the way to work.
The accident has prevented him from attending the work.
He has had to go on the sick.
RM will always go after the low hanging fruit when it comes to the attendance procedure.
Hans would like to know if there's any wriggle room in the procedure to cover accidents on the way to work as well as accidents on duty.

Unfortunately I think the answer is still no.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Regarding a stage warning, obviously it's down to the manager if he/she feels sorry for one of his/her staff unfortunately having an accident on the way to work even if said staff member was s**t unlucky with a pot hole, so yes......it's a stage warning........99.99% of the time.

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.

If person successful claimed for loss of earnings (and injury)Royal Mail would be compensated too.
They also would remove absence from attendance record.

It happened to me when I was involved in a RTA.
