I have got copies of both the policy before and after the change. I have recently joined the top company within our group umbrella so I truly couldn't tell you guy what my contract says as I have yet to receive it. We have an employee handbook but each part is a separate document on the intranet. Which is where I have gotten my Information from so far. I am due to have a meeting with my manager today in regards to this as quite a few managers have become involved with this. I couldn't tell you if they are just using my trigger as an excuse but I am don't want to take this decision lying down.

I should elaborate that my trigger will have completed within the next two weeks.

Good evening everyone, I'm having a small trouble with work at the moment, I applied for a managers position internally and was told that I have an outstanding absence trigger. An absence trigger is where I have had 3 occasions of sickness within 3 months and I can not have a further sick day within the following 6 months. What my issue is here is that the recruitment policy at the time I applied only advised "Aspects which may be taken into consideration are attendance, timekeeping and performance ". I appear to have kicked up a fuss and now the policy has been changed to "All lateness and absence triggers must have been passed before applying for an internal role". The footer at the bottom of both documents both say Version 2.0 and are dated March 2014. I belive this is the same to deliberately mislead anyone going into the document. Please can you let me know your thoughts. Thank you
