Summary
- Employees (and, in some situations, workers) have the legal right to be permitted a reasonable amount of paid or unpaid time off work to enable them to carry out their official functions or for other designated purposes.
- Qualifying employees who are employed by an employer with at least 250 employees have the legal right to make a request in relation to study and training and have their request considered.
- An employee (or worker) whose request in relation to paid or unpaid time off work has been refused may bring a complaint to an employment tribunal.
