Sometime you have to take the time off if you are injured and there is no light duty for injured postman which is a sign of bad planning for me. ie you can do the work, but not the walk.

light dutys in our office depend on if the face fits.
if it does you can do condemns,1/2 walk etc,if not you are either off sick or not

in our office in the last couple of weeks anyone who is off sick is being
'asked' in for interview in the 1st couple of days!!

If a manager is phoning you up every day, I see this as bullying and harassment. If you have phoned in sick and you have told your manager when you will be returning to work, this should be enough and if your doctor has given you a sick note, why do RM go out their way to challenge your doctor. If these managers had Phd's in medicine I could understand, but they have not.

very choosy who they pick a fight with all that overzealous political correctness after Jermaine Lee , one professional rehab had light duties for wisdom tooth removal and tonsillitis; nothing to do with a botched sacking and his father taking RM to IT of course , then there was "The Can Queen " being the Messiah's Typist in Lancashire .

RM want to look at their own linos and their colourful records , I won't hold my breath

I'm sure it was all a coincidence :funneh :funneh

Has anyone thought about using an answerphone? Along the lines of ' I can't come to the telephone right now because I'm in bed with a temperature of 105 degrees, my left leg is swollen like a vegetable marrow and whenever I cough I spray germs about like a corporation fountain.' What's the betting you would get a second call asking if you wanted to come in to do half a walk on overtime.
