Absence

Post by jamstercompaq »

Hey guys a question to ask you all i need to be clear on.

Say if u been sick for 1 day how long does it take before it clears on your attendance record ?

If you work for royal mail for more then a year do u still get paid in full ? because i have issues at the moment abt that .

It's always there mate. It never goes away. There is a myth that after 12 months it can't be taken into consideration should you trigger a stage some time in the future, but they can take all absences into account when looking to see if there is any pattern to subsequent absences.

Absolutely! Your record shows all absences, unauthorised, authorised and strikes and don't go for a wee or else!

While what the guys are saying is correct,do you also mean the attendance procedure,i've put it in anyway,just in case.

Stage 1: 4 absences or 14 days in a 12 month period
Stage 2: 2 absences or 10 days in any 6 month period during the next 12 months
Stage 3: 2 absences or 10 days in any 6 month period during the next 12 months

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.
