Some info please !

Post by flyinmachine »

Hi ! I am currently of sick , Been of since monday. Have phoned my dom to give him an update. Intend going back on monday. I believe i need to hand in a self certificate. Do you have to go to your Doctor for one or can you down load one of the net. This is my first absence since i started. Just want to make sure i do every thing by the book. As my Dom can be a bit of an ARSE and has sacked people in the past for not following the right procedures . Thanks for Any help

Off from Mon? phone in on the Sat to tell them you are resuming work,that will be 6 days sick.
You will NOT need to take anything in,you will sign a self cert thing at your office when you have your return to work chat.

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.

Your office should have some.
Your Drs surgery should have some.
You can download one here. http://glastonburysurgery.co.uk/selfcert.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you are returning on Monday make sure you tell them that on Saturday or they will count the Sunday as a sick day as well.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Yes you have to,you can not work while a doc has signed you off,the doc has to sign you off or you wait for the cert to run out.
Now there is ATOS,and a whole new ball game. :crazy:

Not entirely true . Was off last year with torn ligaments and still had 2 weeks left of my docs rehab plan and a meeting with atos face 2 face at the same time the docs line finished . Told manager I would be willing to start back early and not goto atos and he said yes and everything was fine .
