I know it's been discussed, but somehow I still don't know what to do.
Currently am a SAHM, I'm looking for FT work, DH already works FT.
If one of DC is ill we will take it in turns to take time off. DH employer wants to take his time off out of his holiday entitlement.
How do I politely ask my new employer HR's department how they want to handle such days off? And better, how do I tell my line manager when the time comes, and I have to ring up at short notice to say I won't be in? Keeping in mind I expect new boss to have no idea what HR policy may be (unpaid parental leave, my sick leave, whatever option). Feels like I should settle the matter soon after taking the job, so what is best way to proceed?
It's just worrying me so much how I am going to tactfully handle this when it comes up (don't expect more than 3-4 days a year, at least).
