[stupidboy]

hello all. i'm a full timer with a medical condition which is considered a disability under the equalities act. have been told yesterday that as i can not fulfill all aspects of the job i am contracted to do because of my condition that i either accept a part time packet duty or i get ill health retired.
any advice please as i don't want either scenario to occur. many thanks

have you had a revision yet
have you had a resign yet

is a job avaliable in the office such as keys and tabs, doms support, public callers etc,etc

as you have a condition that is covered under the dda, you have extended rights and these are called protected characteristics which your dom cant ignore

what does your branch/rep have to say on the matter

i myself am going through the ihr farce myself at the moment, its not about you as such

its about getting rid of someone on a 40 hour contract of employment and to replace with someone on a fixed term contract

if they offer a part time contract then will be this subject to a buy down of hours and being paid a lump sum???

i to could be faced with the same thing but i was left with the disabilty through a accedent on duty as a packet/bag man dont no what compansation i should get for this union have said nothing to me

[knackers0191]

dont hold your breath on compo off royal mail. i was ihr a few mth ago. due too a vicious dog attack, while out on delivery.. got no compensation off royal mail. owner of the dog did a runner b4 police got there..so no job, no compensation

[demon]

union said i need some sort of letter from the industrial injurys before royal mail insurence will pay out sound like a load of complacated s**t to me like

Have you reported the accident to the DWP? That's the first step. You should have been advised of this by your manager (according to HR). From experience the initial letter will come after 2-3 weeks. Then a medical will follow. But I think they want the first letter just to prove that it was an Industrial Injury.

been told that there will be no compensation if i take the 22.5 hour duty as it is because of medical issues

[keithposty]

have you spoken to your dom and requested a BUY DOWN in hours

i.e

compensating yuu for reduced contractual hours say from 40 hours to 20 hours

what reasonable adjustments have been considered and ruled out then?

DWP phone number is 08456031358 ask for an industrial injuries form they will do the rest and send it out then you fill it out take a copy and send it back. Ask your rep for an LS 3 form fill out the relevant part take a copy and send the original off to branch or HQ.
then sit back and let the good times roll or was it wait, i always get them mixed up.

none at all. managed to get in touch with union headquarters and was told to put in a grievance with a view to going to tribunal, with full union backing, if not resolved within 28 days

[flaminmoses]

Anyone know what the "IHR package" is?

ie...weeks pay lus other things??

[mazza111]

Number of weeks in lieu of Notice (PILON) 9Weeks
Pay in lieu of Notice Payment 9 x weekly wage
Number of weeks/days in lieu of leave ? x Weekly/daily rate (mine was daily as i only had 5 days remaining)
Lump Sum payment 34 x weekly rate
Overpayment mine was 0 but keep an eye on it
Last day of service
Payment date

This would all be listed on any offer of IHR
