How long is a piece of string?
The wording here is reasonable,what you call a reasonable time RM call it something else!
I believe that things are supposed to be concluded before 5 working days days have elapsed BUT can go on for longer if they are weighing up new evidence etc in other words ..bullshit to make people stew.
You could always stick in a grievance about how long it is taking as after all `the employer is under a duty to give employees an opportunity to have their grievances heard reasonably and promptly`(WA Goold(Parmark)V Mcconnell 1995) :wave
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.
