Other Absences and Appointments

If you must be off work for any foreseeable reason (for example a dental appointment) you should ask your Line Manager for permission well in advance. Requests will not be unreasonably refused however; appointments should normally be arranged during your own time. If it is necessary for you to leave work early, or start work later, permission should be requested from your Line Manager. It will depend on the circumstances whether you will be required to make up the time lost or whether or not payment will be made.

Unauthorised absence from work can result in disciplinary action being taken, up to and including dismissal.
