Health leave

<aside> 💡 Health Leave is in place to provide you with the time off to recover from illness.

</aside>

If you need time off to attend an appointment, we’re happy for you to work around this. If you need to be out of office for half a day or longer, please book Health Leave to attend your appointment.

If you are unwell, take the time you need to rest and recover. Working through illness will prolong your recovery.

As soon as you know you need to take some time off:

  1. let your manager know and keep in daily contact with them during your leave
  2. book your leave in ‣
  3. If you’re absent for more than seven days (including non-working days), obtain a fit note from a healthcare practitioner.

Health Leave is paid up to five days per 12 month period.
