Wildflowers Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Does anyone know if I'm obliged to give a leaving member of staff a day off for an interview with a potential new employer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Dragging through the deep recesses of my memory I think if someone has resigned they can have unpaid time off to attend interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 no.. don't have to.. could arrange time off unpaid if they insist... probability is they will not turn up even if you don't give them the time.so maybe better to arrange a unpaid day so the cover can be paid for.. .. they can also ask new employer for a more convenient .time.. .

SazzJ Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I am sure that you have to make reasonable attempts to give time off for interviews though doesn't need to be paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 https://www.gov.uk/handing-in-your-notice-resigning-leaving-job Just found this and it says paid time off - personally I would give it as holidays as reduces as pay at the end of their period.

(but not if you work for me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
