Employment/pay and isolation period

[Tooyoungtobethisold]

Evening, Apologies if this is a repeated question. Im asking any parents that work, what there Employers advise if you have to isolate or stay home with your child due to covid- do you have to use Annual leave for example? Thank you.

I was able to WFH due to my role and as long as I worked my hours by the end of the week they were fine with it even if it wasn’t my normal start / finish.
Others in same firm who couldn’t wfh due to role had the choice of annual leave, unpaid, or 1 month to make up the hrs missed.

Thank you, thats really helpful. During lockdown we worked from home but now we are out more ( while also WFH) its changed as we require cover. I was curious to see what other companies do.

we pay in full...thats for anything covid related

Thank you for your reply. Some organisations do the same as yours ,unfortunately not mine.

We allow holidays to be used or unpaid leave.
Some sick pay is paid based on tenure
