Off Sick and stage warrning

Post by shahid alomer »

Hello

I am off sick for 10 weeks due to acute pain in both my right knee and lower back. In fact, I had an accident at work 2 years back and was registed in Erica book as Accident at work and not my fault.

I did Mri Scan to those injured areas just last Feb.2013 that has shown the injry accelerated the mediacl symptoms I have been suffring from all this time - during the over two years.

My question is.. Is the first stage warning that going to be issued is discounted. In regard to what I have explained before. At the first time - 2 years back- My line manager tried to issue me one but the union rep refused it as it was accident at work.. So it discounted.

Kind Regards

If related it should be discounted,your rep no doubt will have to fight hard for you.
Medical notes are your friend.

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 you get a note from your GP stating that your current condition is a continuation of the injury sustained in the accident then it is no different from the first time - it is the same injury! give royal mail a copy of this letter and if they issue stage then launch a grievance procedure.
