Unpaid Leave?

Is this possible in the current climate?

I need max 2 months off for personal reasons, been in the job 20+ years and back in the day it wasn't an issue

Thoughts?

I am currently off on unpaid leave for six months. Hoping to not go back on 6th November. So yes it’s possible. The official take on it is 6-24 months off unpaid. I only wanted 4 but took the 6. But even though I gave a whole years worth of notice the office managers never put my forms in officially until I had actually gone off. So last week I actually got 3 weeks pay in arrears which I now have to pay back. Didn’t expect anything less really.
Put it in writing to your COM then they should get you the official forms. This is my fourth week off and I’m loving it. Apart from having to ring them last week to sort their stupid mistake out. I am happy expecting to get paid this week too. Bloomin nutters. Hahaha. Good luck.

Nice, sounds like you're enjoying it

I am fully expecting a, sorry we can't do that kind of response to be honest.

I don't need 6mths either really, will put it in writing and see what happens.
