As employers will be only too aware the home lives of employees can impact on their working lives in many ways, not least when an unexpected event occurs that disrupts the normal routine. This would commonly occur when a member of the family falls ill or is injured, or if normal care arrangements are interrupted.
An employee’s working arrangements may be flexible enough to allow for such events, with the employee able to make up their hours at other times. However, this is not always the case. Some employees may choose to use some of their holiday
entitlement where this is possible at short notice. Provided the employer can allow this, it means the employee does not lose any pay for the period of time they take off.
However, it might be that the employee has exhausted their holiday entitlement, or does not want to use up any holiday entitlement. This paper examines the statutory right to time off for such events.
