attendance review question

Post by newbie2011 »

I'm hoping someone can offer advice please. My union rep in on holiday this week and I have been issued today with an invite to an attendance review meeting. This is because I have had two absences, one of 5 days and one of 7 days. The first one was through an injury I sustained at work, so I don't believe this counts. My union rep is off this week, and I don't believe this is just reasons to be issuing a stage one. Is there a link to the attendance management policy please. I have seen links on here before for different hr policies. Thanks for any help/advice

Looking at page 45 of the attendence policy (linked below) it states you have the right to union representation

If your union rep is not available and there is no one else from the union available you should be within your rights to ask for the meeting to be put back until the union rep returns from holiday. That is assuming that this is a formal review meeting and not an informal one

Accidents on Duty are "Normally" discounted - but they're not in all cases.

But brazil is correct unless you are still under trial

Worth clarifying for you

You have triggered a review, your absence level regardless of cause has taken you over the threshold for a review hence why your getting a review meeting, a review does not mean you have been issued a warning or will be issued one it simply means that your sickness level and reasons why will be formally looked at

You currently have not been issued a stage 1 whether that is issued or not is what is decided at the stage 1 interview(or shortly afterwards)

At the review the details of your absences will be looked at, that's the point when you accident on duty "should" be discounted and then the dom decides whether or not to issue a stage 1 warning or not
