Reclaiming job after ill health retirement

Post by banku »

Hi there experts ,
I was offered ill health retirement in Nov. 2012 last year because of my bad back. I got my treatments done with in the last whole year and I am now fit to get back to work.
Can you please guide us what are the requirements for that and what documents Royal Mail would want to see?
please guide , Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply... but on which basis are you saying this?
I remember some one in our unit received Ill health retirement and she came back after a year and half.

A good suggestion by Hantsman, not coached in a friendly way though.

11. RE-EMPLOYMENT FOLLOWING ILL HEALTH RETIREMENT

Where an individual has been retired for Ill Health they will have opportunity to request re-employment within Royal Mail Group when/if they are again able to carry out their previous duty or another duty for the employer and there will be no artificial barriers to their re-employment.

Royal Mail Group is an equal opportunities employer and will consider all applications on their merit, including those from previous employees. Experience gained from working within the Group in the past is an advantage in any recruitment process, and this applies equally to individuals that have been retired on ill health grounds. In such cases however, it would be essential for an individual to demonstrate that they have recovered sufficiently to be able to perform a normal range of duties.

Re-employment will be subject to a referral to the OHS to confirm the individual has recovered from the ill health that supported the recommendation for retirement. The individual will be required to provide supporting evidence that they have recovered from their ill health and may be required to have a medical examination.

Their previous overall attendance record will be considered in the normal way but they will not be disadvantaged due to absences related to their ill health retirement.

It is also important to recognise that:

• It will be unlikely individuals will be able to return to their original former job.
• It will be dependent on an appropriate vacancy being available.
• They may be expected to be flexible in terms of job location and date of return.
• Where retraining is required it will be given.
• On their return they will be eligible to join the appropriate Pension Scheme for new employees.
This is from the IHR agreement which is in downloads http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 36&t=36293" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
