REHABILITATION PLAN

Post by ROYAL MAIL 1 »

Im currently on a rehabilation plan and have been told that there is no work for me in my office and I will have to go to another office for work over 40 miles away. Is there any rule about how far royal mail can expect an employee to travel??

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.

Thanks for the document. It does say they can send you elsewhere within a local area. I don't consider 40 miles to be local.
It was a back injury so I wouldn't really want to drive that far each day anyway.
