CORONERS COURT



If the person is attending due to the death of a family member then Special Leave A is applicable. If a witness, loss of earnings should be claimed and Post Office Ltd will make up pay to basic earnings level.

So your saying it will be granted by my line manager and I will get paid and it doesn't affect my record? Thanks TrueBlueTerrier much appreciated..
