If the funeral is for an aunty, can we use a lieu day instead of a days holiday - they owe me several :sad:

I have had to use my own leave on both occasions. had contact with area rep and he contacted cwu hq and there reply wasn't very clear on the matter either so just gave up in the end.
That's absolutely disgraceful.

Twice I've had to use either annual leave or swap my day off, one for my uncle and one for one of my best friends. Told special leave only for close family. Mum dad sister brother and grandparents at a push.
