Leave to attend Clause Samples
The 'Leave to attend' clause grants employees the right to take time off from work to attend specific events or obligations, such as court hearings, jury duty, or official appointments. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which leave can be requested, the types of events covered, and any documentation required to support the absence. Its core practical function is to ensure employees are not penalized for fulfilling civic or legal responsibilities, thereby balancing workplace attendance requirements with external obligations.
Leave to attend. PSA meetings and Employee Relations’ Education Leave
24.4.1 PSA meetings: an aggregate of 30 days paid leave per annum [per DHB] shall be granted to cover PSA meetings, e.g. health service group central committee, national council and the biennial congress. Provided that the employer receives written notice from the employee representative 14 days prior to the date(s) for which leave is required, and service requirements can be reasonably satisfied. Notice shall be given for each meeting and shall state the name(s) of employees seeking leave, the number of days and the meeting(s) being attended. Except leave shall only be granted when correct notice has been received – where 14 days’ notice cannot be given because of the calling of emergency meetings only, a reasonable lesser period of notice will be accepted.
