Time off for any other emergencies
We recognise that you will, from time-to-time, experience emergencies at home. Therefore, our Time Off Work policy is in place to allow you a reasonable amount of time off work to deal with an emergency.
There is no contractual or statutory right to be paid for time off for emergencies. Any payments made in such circumstances are done so with absolute discretion. All unauthorised absences will be dealt with in accordance with the Disciplinary procedure.
Compassionate leave
We will allow you a period of up to 10 days’ paid compassionate leave in the case of a sad loss of a close relative. For further information, please contact the People & Culture Team.
Time off for dependents
We recognise that you may find yourself in an unplanned emergency situation with a dependent. Please refer to the policy guidance for further information on how we can support you during this time.
