Draft copy of new sick leave proposal

[dvbuk55]

What process will Royal Mail use to stop members having a month off in every seven?
Just putting it out there....

Oh I think you can rest assured there will be a "discretionary" element to it all - there usually is.

The long term absence part is a fooking joke..it's a mandate for an employee to be bullied back to work,not to mention the bit about people on The Equality Act namely this bit.....When the employee is likely to be considered disabled under the Equality Act 2010 reasonable adjustments will be considered to continue in their role......well firstly it's feckin law that they should be allowed to continue in their role .
Code Of Practise:
6.31
If an employer does not comply with the duty to make reasonable
adjustments they will be committing an act of unlawful discrimination.
A disabled worker will have the right to take a claim to the Employment
Tribunal based on this.

And secondly what the feck is will be considered having had quite a battle and also know of many other people both in my own office and elsewhere this bit concerns me no end...managers are terrible in getting them to abide by the Equality Act but with ambiguous statements like will be considered usually in Royal Mail land means feck off.
