Before an attendance review meeting

• When an employee returns from an absence due to illness the line manager will be notified by Managing My Team on PSP if the attendance standards have not been met
• The manager who is to arrange and conduct the meeting should send written notice to the employee at least three working days before the date of the proposed meeting to confirm the date, time and location.
• They should also include a copy of the employee’s absence record, copies of any available Occupational Health Service reports and any other documentation which will form part of the decision making process with the invitation letter. Invitation letters can be produced through PSP
• All absences up to the day of the meeting will be included in the attendance discussion for that review
• The employee has the right to be accompanied at the meeting by a union representative or a work colleague


The above is from the current agreement. Whether or not that agreement is one Royal Mail still recognises and sticks too who knows. As said above, refuse to sign anything and see your rep for advice.
