Did you put it in ERICA or not as Royal Mails sickness policy is draconian at best if it is in system you may have a case you can defend.

You won't necessarily get a warning, the time off will trigger a review and then it's completely at the discretion of your manager whether a warning is issued or not

You have to argue your case.
RM will benefit from having a fitter you back at work after the surgery.
The attendance procedure is not supposed to be punitive.
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down.

Holly, it does help if you answer the Questions posed (AOD), as it is corrective it is directly related to the original absense and should be discounted if challenged by a reasonable Rep :wave :wave

so thats an issue then. :roll: :cuppa
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.
