Re: home visit
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.

Re: home visit
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.twobags wrote:Fishtank what should i expect my reps response to be
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.

Re: home visit
hi fishtank have sent you a message regarding this matter , i have taken out the grievance and it is going ahead but more disturbingly i found out today that our office rep is stepping down at the end of this month leaving the office with no representation , which i dont think any one is aware of
where does that leave us any ideas
there are a few in the office that talk the talk but none that will walk the walk ,

Re: home visit
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.
