Bereavement policy

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

As far as I know, there is no limit on Special Leave as in time served.

For Grandparents, unless you are the executor generally its only 1 day for the funeral itself. 7 days if you are the executor.

Special Leave can be paid or unpaid its at the discretion of the manager.

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.
