Unpaid absence

Post by dolph999 »

Does having an unauthorised absence where I didn't get paid for 1 day ( due to family circumstances) Does it go on your sick record

Why wasn’t the 2nd also special leave? I’m not sure it’s limited to 1 day I once took 5 days

Pretty sure you also can’t be conducted for unpaid leave, it came up recently regarding them not paying sick leave

The com said I'm only entitled to 1 days paid special leave apparently, but because I wasn't ill and it was another family member who was ill.

Thanks for the info tho :thumbup
