Time off for dependant?

Post by RunPostie »

Hi. Need some advice please. I've had a few occasions when my son has fallen ill overnight & unable to go into nursery. I've always managed to get family to come look after him. If this was not possible could I get a day off work, e.g time off for dependants or compassionate leave? If so what is the correct procedure. I'm 4 months in & still on probation.
Many thanks.
