Regular medical treatment and hospital appointments:

Where regular treatment is occurring the employee should try and get appointments outside work hours and POL should help by arranging changes to working hours wherever possible. Managers should treat requests for additional time off with sympathy bearing in mind that a stoppage of pay will add to the stress of treatment. Individuals involved in hospital treatment should provide confirmation of treatment from their Doctor or hospital, and absences should not count towards attendance procedure.
Managers discretion:Paid-Unpaid-AL.

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.
