Family court system

[wavey12]

Hi all, just a quick question to ask if you are going through child contact proceedings do you get paid leave from work or would you have to take days off for hearings and mediation etc which would be unpaid?. Silly question I know but I'm unsure as I know during dury duty etc it's different and you get paid . Would be the Scottish court system if that makes a difference.

Bump anyone

Are you salaried? What's your contracted hours?

@itsallthedramaMickiloveit around £30,000 a year and usually 40 hours plus overtime

I don't believe they have a legal obligation to pay you in the same way allowances are made for jury duty.
Is your line manager approachable? Do you have annual leave you could use?

It will depend on your company policy

The reason companies have an obligation to keep paying you during jury duty is that this is a civic duty for the public good. Private court proceedings (of whatever type) are unlikely to qualify. Of course, your company may take a different approach and allow you to make up the hours etc.
