We've had a couple of people who have gone sick ( no surprise there ), but the question I want answered is this,
They have phoned up their manager at the earliest time informing them that they won't be in for the next couple of days,like they're supposed to, but then later in the day they are then phoned up by the Dom asking how long are they going to be off for, being told they looked alright yesterday, so why are they not in work.
IS THIS NOT HARRASMENT?
Can someone tell me the correct procedure for someone who goes sick and phones in on the same day, do they have to phone in every day you are off?

From the attendance agreement


Notifying absence and maintaining contact

• Employees will advise of their absence before the commencement of the shift in accordance with the arrangements set out for their office • Discussion will cover the reason for absence, likely duration and anticipated return date and any support which Royal Mail may be able to offer

• The employee and manager should seek to agree an appropriate time and date for reviewing together all but very short absences

• Employees need to provide a self certificate for the first 7 days of absence and a medical certificate for any absence over 7 days

• The aim of maintaining contact during an absence is to encourage an early return to work wherever possible
