I believe you are allowed one absence of up to 4 days in the year and you will still clear your 1st and 2nd stage warnings :dance

Not sure when its started from, should be on the letter they give you advising you the stage 3 has been dropped to a 2nd :d'oh!

you will still be allowed another absence of uptop 9 days to go back to a stage 1 but it has to be 6 months after your last 1 and then after the 12 months you will revert back to a stage 1. If you dont go sick at all in the next 12 months you will clear all stages and then you can play the system again and have a couple extra weeks holiday each year but thats if you can tough it out for a year 1st and reap the benefits after. Just make sure you dont go sick again within 6 months of your last sickness because 2 sickness within the same 6 month period of the 12 months will have you up for a stage 3 again.

Normally is,but they seem to take the piss with these stage timings nowadays,how long from your last sick which triggered it to your interview,if it's months like some on here you should of asked for it to be backdated to last day of sick.

I've never done this on a stage 3 but i have on a 1 and 2 as they left it so long.And i got it backdated.

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.
