Attendance Procedure and Agreement Trigger points for stage warnings?

Post by magicw »

Unfortunately the At a Glance section on here doesn't give me the info I require, and my rep is away from the office at moment.

I ve got an attendance review meeting with my Lino on Tuesday and think he's going to try and serve me with a Stage One.

I actually don't think that I ve had enough time off on Enough occasions to Trigger this, and I ve never had any return to work meetings after any absence.

The at a glance section on Attendance says ask your manager for a full copy of the attendance procedure. but as its him I m more than likely to be in disagreement with

I was hoping someone could give me a link to full attendance agreement.

Specifically trigger points, I.E 2 abscences on 2 occasions totalling 4 days , or whatever in general the Trigger points are?


Thanks

If you're not a trialist a stage one is 14 days or 4 absences in a 12 month period. Full agreement is in download section of this forum.

can you be off 4 times, or does the 4th absence trigger the stage 1 ? and for that matter is it the 14th or 15th day of absence which triggers the warning ?

4th absence triggers and 14th day triggers.

You can be off 3 seperate occasions as long as you dont have more than 13 days in total.

Then after 12 months with no absence it will drop down stage from 1 to 0 but that depends on what stage you are.

Does clearing the 6 months without an absense on a stage 2 get your record cleared completely or does it go to a stage 1 again?

Refusing to sign a stage in itself is meaningless.
if you don't agree with the findings of a stage review ask for it to be added to the notes along with the reasons and then sign it. Much more helpful if things go further.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
