Time off for dependants covers short, unplanned absences from work to deal with unexpected events involving a dependant, such as a family member or someone you depend on. A solicitor who practices in this area helps you understand your rights, advises on claims if the employer refuses time off, and assists with drafting correspondence or negotiating arrangements for leave and any necessary documentation. They also guide you on what counts as a dependant and how long the absence can last.</description>
Where a solicitor protects your position
The right arises under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and usually allows an employee to take reasonable unpaid time off to deal with the immediate aftermath of events affecting a dependant. A solicitor can help confirm eligibility, discuss documentation, and address any disciplinary or disciplinary-appeal implications when time off is requested or refused.
