It will depend on your contract.

Where I work, managers have the discretion to award leave to care for dependants in an emergency (which is generally paid but should only last a day or two while alternative care is arranged) and other special leave (I.e. No annual leave) either with or without pay.

Only way to know is talk to HR it your manager :)

You need to talk to your maanger and see how the absence in December was marked.

No one here can tell you when your employer makes deductions. Assuming you've checked your staff handbook/policy/contract and have no reason to think you're entitled to paid leave for this absence, you need to say to your manager that you were expecting a week's pay to be deducted in January and it hasn't been, could she confirm when it will be taken out or what's happened.
