Becoming a grandparent...

Post by 26 may 1999 »

Is there any time off for this?

My missus works for asda and she gets a week off.

Very generous I know but do we get anything?

Thanks.

Grandad to be.

Because I'd like to know if we have any time off for this...

As my missus gets a week off.

And I'm about to become a grandparent.

I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.

You could ask for special leave if you dont want to use holiday but iam guessing it will be unpaid. Down to your manager. :neutral:

Congrats, hope all goes well :thumbup
