The amount of leave you can take will depend on your terms and conditions. The information on below is for staff employed on Buckinghamshire Council Terms and Conditions.
If you are on AVDC, BCC, C&SB, or WDC terms and conditions, your entitlement may be different. For more information click the links below:
You can get paid carers’ leave if there’s a domestic emergency affecting your dependant and you absolutely need to be there. On each occasion there’s normally a maximum of two days’ paid leave, up to a total of five days over a year. The five days of paid carers' leave is taken from the same five day entitlement as paid compassionate leave.
You can also take unpaid leave if things are less serious, up to five days over a year. You can take up to 13 weeks’ unpaid leave while working at the council.
If you work part time, you’re allowed a pro rata amount of carers’ leave.
