Carer’s Leave Policy

Manager’s decision and postponing your carer’s leave

Your line manager cannot deny your request for carer’s leave but can postpone it if they reasonably consider that service delivery would be unduly disrupted if the leave was approved as set out in Appendix C. If your line manager does postpone the leave, they must provide you written counter notice within seven days of the request, explaining the reason for the postponement and the revised dates the leave can be taken on. You must however be allowed to take the requested leave within a month of your original request.
