Fixed term contract, funeral

  • post reply
    I'm currently on a fixed term contract. I have a (non-family, family friend) funeral after the Easter holidays. Am I entitled to attend this without any problems with my contract? TIA

    Sorry for your loss, pinktea.  You are not entitled to the time off but can be given the day off at your HT's discretion. Most HT's would allow this without question but I know of some in my LA who have not allowed staff to attend funerals.  Ask your HT as soon as you go back, or before.
