Other Absence
Appointments
You are normally expected to ensure that appointments to visit the doctor, dentist, hospital, etc. are made in your own time and outside normal working hours. In the event that this is not reasonably practicable, time off work will be permitted to attend such appointments providing that the appointment is substantiated with an appointment card (if requested) and the timing of the appointment causes as little disruption as possible i.e. at the beginning or end of the working day. You will be paid for the time lost at the discretion of the Company.
Family Emergencies
You are entitled to reasonable time off, without pay, for urgent incidents of real need involving a dependent, who is a member of your immediate family or someone who reasonably relies on you for help when they are ill or injured or for making arrangements for them to be cared for in the event of illness or injury.
The entitlement to time off in such circumstances is limited to what is reasonable for you to deal with the immediate problem and sort out any longer term arrangements. If you are unable to attend work due to unforeseen family circumstances such as the death of a dependent, breakdown of childcare arrangements or illness of a dependent, you may be entitled to reasonable time off work.
Bereavement Leave
In the event of the death or funeral of a relative, civil partner or close friend, you may be granted appropriate time off work and payment at the discretion of the Company after careful and sympathetic consideration has been given to the circumstances surrounding each bereavement.
