Well, Mr Madden has certainly kicked up a s**t storm.

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.

Didn't Royal Mail say though, that this would be reviewed at the end of March ?

I got this today, same as Woodys and the latest doc, I have asked them about April and onwards, they never f***ing read emails properly!
Dear Liam

If someone is self isolating due to having symptoms, being in a household where there are symptoms or because they are classed as vulnerable then they would receive normal sick pay. Employees with under one year’s service would also receive full sick pay. Normal sick pay limits apply so if someone has had a lot of sick absence previously they may be on half or nil pay if they have exhausted the sick pay limits.

If someone chooses to self isolate for a reason not listed above then they should speak to their manager about how the absence will be recorded. It is unlikely to be a sick absence with pay.

Kind Regards,
Victoria

Ohhhh I like Vicky, and she read it properly this time lol
Tomorrow is April, I will be refreshing the Coronavirus web page from 00:01 tonight!
Liam

To clarify:

1:Has it changed?

No

2:Will it change in April?

No plans to change the approach at the moment. Any changes would be communicated via business wide comms.

3:Why are managers refusing to pay and are saying that it has now changed?

I wouldn’t know why managers are refusing to follow guidance. I would suggest the employees contact ourselves directly if they are having a problem getting paid.

4:Also, why are The CWU saying it’s changed?

The business stance hasn’t changed. I’m not aware of any updated CWU comms but if they say the approach has changed this isn’t the case.

Kind Regards,
Victoria

And she probably writes this from the home office, being paid in full and watching Netflix in the meantime. Not that I'm jealous or something..
