All About Leave
Time Off in Lieu
Employees will need to take time off from work from time-to-time for
personal appointments such as dentist, doctor or hospital visits, or to resolve
issues in the home such as repairs and maintenance for example.
Appointments should be arranged for the most suitable time of the day when
it causes the least impact on your work and the team. Normally this is early
morning or near the end of the day.
Whilst this leave is discretionary, it will normally be approved unless there is
good reason. You should seek approval from your Line Manager as early as
possible. Depending on the amount of time off, you may be expected to
make it up at other times in the week, or for longer periods, it may be
necessary to take unpaid leave or annual leave.
