Special leave

[Drunkn_munky]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows what the criteria is for paid and unpaid special leave? Had an incident at home last night were the emergency services had to be called and there was no way that I was in the correct frame of mind to go into work as i was distressed, on phoning staff resourcing i was told if i didnt go in i wouldnt be getting paid for being off.

Thanks

DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
Urgent indicates an immediate need, the provision with pay should normally be one day, with further days unpaid or covered by holiday entitlement. Exceptional circumstances might warrant 3 days.

Forms should not be forwarded giving ‘Domestic Problems’ as a reason; an explanation is required. There may be times when the employee will not want the reason for Special Leave A or C to be written on the form. If the Line Manager considers that this is warranted then “Confidential Agreed” should be written, but he/she should be aware of the true reason.

Mainly to get paid on Special Leave their has to be a death in the family.It is the managers discretion to give you Special Leave A otherwise Special Leave C is your option or take the time off from your Annual Leave
