Seniority when off long term sick

Post by smartecosse »

I've a question about seniority.

I have been told that if you take a career break that your seniority is effectively paused whilst you are on the career break.
What happens if you are off sick for a considerable length of time?

I assume that as you still get a payslip each week will initially the reduced pay and then eventually zero your seniority is not "paused" as you are still employed but just signed off.

Is that correct?

Sorry if I've not explained it correctly.

Thanks.

Yes that's correct according to the way forward agreement only a career break will pause seniority.

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.

There was a clip of Dave Ward on the CWU Twitter page that said at the last meeting Thompson gave them a letter about all of the agreements that the Royal Mail would be serving them notice on without naming which.

I presumed serving notice on them means they're no longer going to recognise or abide by things in those agreements any longer? Or have I misunderstood?

Can't see for the time being at least that seniority will be looked at.

I don't mean they should look at it, I just meant that hypothetically if the agreement was among those served notice on & no longer being abided by then any guidelines, rules or procedures that are included in said agreement couldn't be trusted.. for the time being anyway.

I've probably misunderstood, nevermind me. :crazy:
