102. Conference agrees that any final agreement on a revised Attendance Procedure must remove the current practice of ‘Double Jeopardy’. Therefore Conference instructs the Postal Executive to seek agreement from the employer on the following:



1. Any absence/s where mitigation has been accepted, as part of a Formal Interview under the procedure, will be clearly identified and cannot be subsequently counted towards the next trigger point in the process.

2. Any absence/s that result in the issuing of a 1st and 2nd stage warning to a ‘Trialist’ will become ‘Time Expired’ on the individuals date of confirmation therefore cannot be counted again towards the trigger point for a stage one interview for substantive employees.



The Postal Executive is instructed accordingly.
