want to come back

Post by newpostyco13 »

Hello, i'm just trying to get some facts / information on what i've been told.

I was with the Royal Mail for 6 months untill this year when i decided i had to leave to be there for my Sick wife., and i'd love to come back to being a post person at my local delivery office. I was good at the job, knew most of the duties in the office, got on well with pretty much everyone - even our last manager! i think anyways Before i left he had supported me threw the loss of my mum

Well after this things are now better and quitting is turning into a terrible decision i'd like to go back! I Haven't got a problem with starting at the bottom again, on less pay for a year, even taking a part time contract for now, etc etc.

But i've now been told that you appartently can't rejoin for a whole 2 years? Is this correct?!

If anyone has information on the matter please share.

Nope. People have come back in less than a month.

2 years is if you've had a payoff.

The two year rule only applies if you've had a pay off eg, took VR
