If you are moving house, you can sometimes take one or more days off. This is called moving leave.
Moving leave is time off for moving house. If you go on moving leave, you do not need to work on the day or days you move house. The rules for this can usually be found in your CAO or contract. In some cases you get one day off, and in other cases you get more. Your employer normally continues to pay your wages as usual while you are on moving leave.
If you not able to go on moving leave or there is nothing on moving leave in your CAO or contract, ask your employer or boss what you can do. For example, you can request unpaid leave. You will get days off for moving home but you will not receive any wages.
Request moving leave from your manager or someone in HR. Make sure you do this on time so your employer knows when you will not be at work. In some cases you have to prove that you really are moving home. For example, you might have to submit a tenancy agreement or contract of purchase and sale. Always ask for precise information about what you need to submit.
No. You do not always have a right to moving leave. This depends on what your CAO or contract says. There might be fixed arrangements, or there might not. You must therefore always ask your employer for information. If your contract does not say anything, you might still be able to request leave but your employer does not have to grant your request.
It varies, depending on your CAO or employer. You might get one day or two days, or even more. In some cases, you cannot take moving leave. This means you have to take days off, such as holiday days. Check your CAO or contract, or talk to your employer.
If you move house during a weekend, you can sometimes take time off on a weekday, such as the Friday before you move or the following Monday. However, you must agree this with your employer.
