LTB 176/13 Royal Mail National Attendance Procedure: Rollout


No. 176/2013
Ref: PTC/RE/srh/015
Date: 15 March 2013
TO ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS


Dear Colleague

RE: ROYAL MAIL NATIONAL ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE: ROLLOUT

Arrangements for rollout of the new National Attendance Procedure have been agreed with Royal Mail Group and are now underway.
Two Joint Briefings involving senior Field Officials and senior HR Managers have now taken place. The associated slide presentation has been made available to senior Field Officials and Managers and will be supported by film clips illustrating various aspects of the new procedure to enable joint cascade of the key messages in the new agreement down to unit level.
In order to allow sufficient time to maximise the effectiveness of the joint message the implementation date for the new procedure has been further deferred and the intention is now that the new procedure will become effective from 27 May 2013, following WTLL sessions week commencing 20 May.
Any enquiries should be addressed to Ray Ellis's department, quoting reference PTC/RE/srh/015. Email address: rellis@cwu.org

Yours sincerely



Ray Ellis
Assistant Secretary

Although the changes in our favour are only small, they are worth having all the same. To come off the procedure in name earlier has got to be better, although all your absences are still sitting there waiting for the next time you are ill. I think it means you can clear stages and get back to zero a bit earlier as well. Next thing would be to reduce the number letters they send and phoning up every day, when you have already told them your story. How about recognising that repetative strain injury is because of the job we do, and discounting this, as well as accidents at work.

Does anyone know what happens if you are already on a stage when this comes in?

Will the new or old procedure apply to me?

TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

This will be straight forward for most parts of Royal Mail Group. No one will be disadvantaged in comparison to what would have happened had they stayed on the current procedure. Where the new arrangements are of benefit by coming off the procedure more quickly, this will be implemented from the date of introduction.

never. You see Big Brother knows best in all things - especially when it comes to upping the subs, making sure there's a ready supply of cash for untaken leave, dosh for trips et al - BUT - you do get to vote these people in so that they can best look after their own interests. It appears that the CWU is now looking to the "trickle down" method of communication. I may be wrong but I think Maggie Thatcher used the same principle when letting manufacturing die and relying on the trickle down of financial services to sustain the nation - well that went well.
