Someone in my office had this happen to them, the manager phoned in advance to say they were coming. So yes it can happen. I would tell the union tough, so that you have a union representative present for any of these visits.

Don't forget to have some Hobnobs and your finest coffee brewing for him,you don't want him to feel awkward now....oh and answer the door wearing a gimp mask.
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.

He's not a doctor,tell him that as well,him coming round to see you would make no difference to your health.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Being sick doesn't mean you have to be in the house all day every day. There are illnesses that wouldn't keep you in. If your manager wants to visit you at home he should call you first. If he doesn't call first, you tell him you were too ill to answer the door.

You could just speak to him at the door whilst sitting in a chair with your coat on. I wouldnt let them inside your house though. You may not be in at the time though as you went for a short walk as part of your efforts to recover from your illness.
