crazy8 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 When the citizenship test occurs on a workday/weekday, are companies/employers obliged to provide paid leave for the day? Or does one have to use their annual holiday leave to be able to sit the test? Couldn't find the answer googling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 No, they are not obliged to give you time off. I have booked a half day of annual leave for mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 No, we took leave. No obligation to give you the time off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your choice to become a citizen nothing to do with your employer.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 You can re schedule to a better time if it helps but most employers won’t give time off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rescheduled mine and brought it forward by 2 months! (Well, 1 month and 26 days)! [emoji16] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalker Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I must have been lucky. I took the day off and I was paid personal leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book a day's leave and do the test then. Nothing to do with the employer what a person gets up to on a leave day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
