attendance procedure

[brothermagrew]

I can tell you something brothermagrew...managers are still in the dark.
No cascading been happening in our area.

Perhaps brother fishtank an astute cwu union rep would knowingly point the way.

[Martin Walsh]

To be fair it is happening in the South East And Eastern Regions. The first event was directors and divisional reps then area reps , DSMs and MCMs and then it has to be rolled out to local reps and DOMs and Work Area Managers. Our rolls outs will not be complete till the 25th. But they are happening .

Just got a letter from RM about it today. It doesn't go into much detail though, doesn't mention the 6 month thing for a start.

Doesn't say much really, does it?
Just that a new system/agreed procedure is in place to start Monday(well Tuesday really), and that managers are now supposed to treat all cases on the individual merits or circumstances relating to them. And, according to my boss, they can no longer be instructed to issue stages by their bosses above them. We'll see.....

attendance procedure letter from Royal Mail HR.

An A4 letter and info sheet with pop out office telephone number to introduce the new agreement- yet after much joint agreement babble they fail to actually to say what the agreement is or tell you what the new 'clear' attendance standards are.

Maybe the story I heard is true about a branch official saying that they are worried members take even more time off when they work out its 6 month and clear.

So I can take six montths off sick and then my Stage One will drop off?

No, lol. But it will after a six month return to work with acceptable attendance

So if the pro's are off stages in 6 months what are the cons?

Its a little more complicated so that gives unscrupulous posties/managers more scope to fiddle the system.

The contact requirements at first glance seem more restrictive.

After 6 months of being on a stage you're clear, but if your not on any stage its still a rolling 12 months (this is where the dodgy ones can perhaps play the system) although any sickness in the 6 months should count towards the rolling 12months its not very clear.

Are you permitted any absence within that six months in order to clear a stage warning once the six months have elapsed?

No you are not permitted any absence - but if you do go sick then the 2nd stage is triggered by 2 absences and/or 10 days. However for ease of reference here is a screen grab of the new standards

I'm currently searching on here to find it but this is the closest I've gotten so far.
