As far as I know the answer is YES they can but it depends entirely on the circumstances. Also the reason can affect how much Special Leave you are entitled to.

We have a few downloads regarding Special Leave it might be worth reading up on it as quickly as possible. Link

They'll give you unpaid leave if you give them enough notice. They are nice like that.

I agree, unpaid special leave seems to be granted with no problems. Paid is another matter.
