Is it Royal Mail policy for staff to have to hand an official doctors sick line in person i.e. take it into the office.
I find it strange if it is.
I have a manager that is telling me that I have to take it in rather than post it in.
On a side line, despite him being asked to call my mobile he calls my house phone. Is this him checking I'm home, and if so why?
