It says 'within a reasonable time frame'.

A stage 2 well any stage 4 months down the line is a serious serious piss take.

I've seen something on here about HR can only go back 3 months or something,will try to find it.

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.

You are entitled to have it back dated to 2 weeks after you resumed work, as 2 weeks is a reasonable time for manager to complete interviews and all paper work

just an update

i could not post before as this person had and is continuing with cancer treatment.

i quoted the relevant equalities act and protected characteristics.

his response was "its the attendace that matters, not the illness"

i said if he was going to issue the stage warning then i would want him to explain his reasoning in an email as to why he was going against the equalities act

result was case closed, no further action
