Possible buy down???

Post by tommythreesheds »

Hi all,

Just wondered if you could advise on a question. Can you buy down from 35hrs to 32hrs on medical grounds? I do a 5 day week, but after being on long term sick, i would like to cut down to 4 days ( advised by my doctor ) Not sure if this is posible or even worth it, although i feel it would help me healthwise.

Thanks

You can but try....if your DDA then you could argue that it might be a reasonable adjustment to alter your hours downward,but I don`t think RM would pay you to drop hours under their sickness policy,frankly I`d be amazed if they did.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.
