Can you retrieve seniority?
Doing our revision and one of the posties has appeared much higher on the seniority sheet than expected. Seems he had left the business and since returned, but has been able to keep his seniority from his previous time with RM. Does anyone know if this is allowed, and if so what is the criteria?

Re: Can you retrieve seniority?
From the Way Forward Agreement:
6 All service within an appropriate grade, whether on a permanent or temporary basis, will count for seniority purposes, with the exception of any periods worked on a casual contract,or during a career break or sabbatical. Unpaid leave will count provided there is no break in contract. Service after age 60 will continue to count. However service must be continuous for seniority purposes, with periods prior to any break in contract (due to re-employment, for example) not generally included, unless there are exceptional circumstances applying to particular cases that are agreed at local level.

Simple answer is NO, the only thing he keeps is the service he had goes towards his holidays entitlement .

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.
