You have the right to complain to an employment tribunal if your employer has unreasonably refused to let you take time off for dependants, unreasonably postponed your parental leave, or has prevented or tried to prevent you from taking parental leave.

What if an employer unreasonably refuses time off? Employees who think that they have been unreasonably refused time off or victimised for taking it, may make a complaint to an Employment Tribunal against their employer. Complaints must normally be made within three months of the date when the time off was refused or the victimisation took place. The Tribunal may require the employer to pay the employee compensation if it finds in his or her favour.

What happens if the employee needs longer time off or knows in advance that the problem is going to arise? If employees know in advance that they are going to need time off, they may be able to arrange with their employer to take this time as part of their annual leave entitlement or if the reason they need leave relates to their child, they may be entitled to take parental leave.
