Unpaid leave

[stodgy88]

anyone know RM policy on taking unpaid leave (around 4 months) thanks in advance.

Depends what it's for and if it's operationally possible, i.e if you have enough staff. The bigger the office the better in that respect. 4 months would more likely come under 'career break' though.

It's called a career break now , and you have to give 6 months notice.

Employees who have two years or more continuous service and have a good performance
and satisfactory attendance record.
Career breaks can be applied for up to two years depending on individual need. If less than
six months, the manager may consider offering other time off instead where this may be
more appropriate.
Career Break Request
Employees should submit a Career Break Request form to their manager at least three
months before the proposed start date of the break. The Manager reviews the form for
eligibility. Once approved, the manager should advise you in writing as to the outcome and
inform HR.
