my hubby is a postie who has just been given a 1st stage warning and i am absolutly FUMING!
basicly his manager is implying that his 4 sick absences in the last 4 years have been taken during or around school holidays deliberatly,she "finds it more than a coincidence" WHICH is just what it is! we didnt even realise until we heard the manager had been implying this to his colleagues while he was off sick. he has had a sicknote from his gp for these absences or if less than 10 days has visited his gp .she also states he has "clearly failed to attend on a regular basis" how can 4 absences in 4 years warrant that statement! my hubby has asthma which he told them when he was first employed by them,he has gone to work many times when he shouldnt have. his most recent absence he was off for 3 weeks as he started with a cold which then went onto his chest resulting in a bad case of bronchitis and 2 courses of antibiotics.as anyone with asthma knows you are more open to chest infections and can take longer to recover BUT she says because he didnt have an asthma attack "the relevance of this is unclear" to her! i know he cant appeal against the warning but is there anything he can do about what she has wrote because its a load of rubbish and lies!!
any advice would be grateful
thank you
