No,they are not allowed to turn up at your door unannounced.
Any home visit must be agreed by you.
When you get back to work speak to your rep and get a grievance form filled in.
Piss takers. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I would expect your rep to request a meeting with management to make it clear that unannounced home visits are not part of Royal Mail's sick absence contact strategy and are completely unacceptable to the office as a whole.
I would expect your rep to get an agreement from management that these visits will cease and a personal apology is made to you.
I would expect your rep to help you fill in the grievance form.

If no-one is willing to take the role on in an individual basis it might be worth trying to organise some kind of committee to share the responsibility.
Sometimes a rep in a neighbouring D.O. will be willing to deal with the more serious issues or as a last resort there is always your area or sub area delivery rep.

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.
