Anybody got a copy of the Unauthorised Absence Guide, or will HR send me a copy?

What happens if the employee does not make contact and is absent?
Where an employee is absent and has not made contact with the manager, the manager should attempt to contact the employee. This should include several attempts before recording the absence as unauthorised.

If contact is still not made then the manager should record the employee’s absence as unauthorised via Managing My Team on PSP (Enter/update absence).

The manager will then be prompted to produce Day One Letter No Contact, which should be sent to the employee by Special Delivery and by First Class post. The manager should then follow the process contained within the Unauthorised Absence Guide.

What happens if an employee on long term absence fails to maintain contact or fails to provide a further medical certificate?
If an employee on long term sickness absence fails to maintain contact or fails to provide a further medical certificate, the manager should again make all reasonable efforts to make contact, including sending contact letters by Special Delivery and First Class post, ensuring that a record is kept of all the attempts to make contact.

If the employee does not make contact or fails to provide a further medical certificate, following written notification giving the employee two days notice, any sick pay they may be entitled to from Royal Mail Group may be stopped.

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.
