Not if you were given special leave.
Make sure they were recorded as special leave though.

Has our Dom typed his own new policy then?

[POSTMAN]

As far as we're aware on here there is no new document on this.

Rule number 1 when a screw opens its mouth spouting agreements,always get the scrote to pop back into its office and get any new agreement/policy from the intranet.

Will double check with justsayit just in case and report back.

Ok, thankyou Mr POSTMAN :)

don't think Aunt/Uncle are part of the paid S/L policy. When my aunt died a few years ago I had to take it as A/L.
When my dad was killed I got 3 days paid S/L, thought I would take the minimum so they would be lenient when it comes to all the crap that was due to follow....ie Court. To attend court hearings etc I've had to use A/L not sure what happens regarding attending the coroners inquest, no doubt I'll have to use that as A/L aswell

[justdeno]

I got S/L for my uncles funeral if that helps.
