Time off Work Policy Writers

What are Time off Work Policies?

Time off work policies set out the different types of leave employees may be entitled to, outside of annual holidays or sick leave, and the processes for requesting and managing that time.

These HR policies help ensure that time away from work is handled fairly, consistently and in line with legal requirements and organisational needs.

What Do Time off Work Policies Cover?

A time off work policy typically includes:

• Time off for dependants or family emergencies

• Bereavement or compassionate leave

• Public duties such as jury service or reserve forces

• Time off for medical appointments or religious observance

• Study leave, unpaid leave or sabbaticals

• How to request time off and manager responsibilities

• Links to absence recording and payroll systems

Having a clear policy helps employees understand what they are entitled to and how to make a request, while giving managers the tools to assess and respond consistently.

It also supports compliance with statutory entitlements such as the right to unpaid time off for dependants, and demonstrates that the organisation values flexibility and employee wellbeing.

By managing requests transparently and fairly, businesses can maintain operational continuity while fostering trust and a positive working culture.

A well-structured time off policy can also reduce unplanned absence by offering staff clear and reasonable options when they need time away from work. This helps improve communication, supports retention, and ensures operational planning is based on accurate and timely information.
