Remember Rainbow? The attendance management system LU invokes if it has a problem with your attendance……even if you haven’t fallen foul of LU’s strict attendance standard. Rainbow looks for ‘patterns’ of non-attendance….and classifies them in colours (like a rainbow...how sweet!), e.g. if you’re off during the school holidays it assumes you must be skiving for childcare reasons, regardless of whether you even have kids, then monitors your attendance using case conferences.
In an extraordinary move that would be comical if it were not serious, Central Line trains management have given a 23-week attendance warning to a driver due to retire in less than two weeks time!
Drivers in some depots have notice that LU are stepping-up their issuing of attendance warnings. Tubeworker wonders whether there is a link with the Olympics? If they can get everyone on a warning, maybe they hope to avoid sickness absence?
LU management's latest idea to keep the service running while employing as few people as possible is to squeeze your time in the khazi. Yes, we hear that managers are to create an EIRF every time you take a PNR and are even threatening staff with disciplinary action for taking 'too many'.
LU's aggressive clampdown on attendance continues. There has been a recent rash of managers asking us to take annual leave when we go for hospital operations.
