Stage 3

Post by Johnrch8 »

I am on a stage 2 for sickness. Had to take 4 days due to a reaction with my 2nd covid jab. I’ve just had to take three days for flu. My stage clears next month. Have I triggered a stage 3 or does the covid jab sickness be discounted

In the stickies!...

Side effects and sickness from a Coronavirus vaccination : Does the absence get recorded as a Covid absence ( not part of the attendance procedure) or a normal absence that 'could' lead to a warning

Does the absence get recorded as a Covid absence (and therefore not part of the attendance procedure) or is it a normal absence that 'could' lead to a stage warning?

If employees are unwell following a vaccination , the absence should be recorded based on the symptoms i.e. temperature, sore arm.
In terms of attendance process, in the short term the absence would be discounted as it relates to coronavirus.

If the absence is prolonged, it may be considered in terms of counting it towards the attendance process, depending on the absence, as generally side effects are not expected to last more than a week.

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.
