Time Off For Dependants Toolkit

Employees have the right to take a reasonable amount of time off work for their dependants.

The Time Off For Dependants Toolkit explains the right and the type of decisions you will have to make. A policy and form to record the reasons for the absence and whether pay was approved or declined are included.

Under s.57A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, employees are entitled to take a reasonable amount of unpaid time off to deal with an unforeseen emergency involving a dependant. The sub folder contains an Emergency Leave Policy which is designed to comply with the rights granted to employees by law when taking time off to deal with an unforeseen emergency. The right does not extend to matters such as problems with pets or property.
