Emergency Motion EM3 calls for improvements to attendance management procedures.


Motion A77 calls for an increase in the attendance management trigger point by at least 2 day for those members who are over 50. This was remitted as members over 50 tend to have fewer short term absences but more long term absences and the motion is potentially discriminatory under the Equality Act.


Motion A78 calls for improved process for the review of Disabled Employees Trigger Point.
