Whats the problem? You'll be in by 9:00 on a saturday, surely? Unless you are still sick of course, in which case you'll be fast asleep in bed.

Why not ring in on saturday, if you are still sick, and tell them to pencil in monday 9am, and you'll do your best to be in then.

“My query however was aimed to establish how front line managers in delivery and
processing within Royal Mail letters actually manage sickness and absence in respect of
procedure in aiding employee with recovery.

I would therefore be grateful if you could provide the procedure management are required
to follow in respect of the following:
1. Keeping in contact with employee
2. Management interview requests and established guidelines for these interviews;

In response to points one and two of your request, Royal Mail Group has a contact strategy
with employees who are absent due to illness. On the first day of absence the employee
must contact the manager. A discussion should take place regarding the absence and what
support can be offered to the employee. If the absence is likely to be more than one day
an agreement should be made regarding the amount and nature of the contact during the
first week of absence. If the absence continues for more than seven days regular contact
should be maintained between the employee and manager.

If the employee is absent for longer than two weeks, the manager and employee have the
opportunity to request a meeting. The purpose of this meeting would be to discuss the
return to work plan, identify any ongoing issues or barriers to the return to work and
options available to the employee.

If you're still ill they can't expect you to go in for an interview. How long have you been off sick for?

If you are off sick,they can't do your one to one until you return to work and don't let them bully you. If not sure speak to your CWU rep.
