Make compassionate leave a Statutory Right With Reasonable Period off & full pay
compassionate leave is not offered in my contract, I researched this online and found that this is not a statutory right. If like me you work on commission and earn a low salary you will struggle financially in an emergency, I think this needs to change and people should have the right to grieve.
My wife's grandmother died and we had to fly to get to the funeral, upon my return I was told that I would need to use my 5 of my holiday days (I only get 20) as they didn't offer compassionate leave. I thought this was unfair and I feel that this needs to change and should be a basic right.
