Office cleaners holidays
For many
office cleaning companies
and
cleaning companies the
worst part of the job is dealing with the HR side, what
happens if a cleaner wants an extended holiday?
You have to decide whether or not you want this employee
to return and if you want to agree to this request. The
choice is to either agree this which will keep the
contract in force or to bring the contract to an end.
This ultimately comes down to whether or not you want to
hold this position open for them.
If you want the
employee to return and you think that you’re able to
cope without them for this period of time, possibly by
arranging a temporary replacement, then you can agree
this between you. Your employee is entitled to be paid
for their time away for any portion of this time that is
covered by their annual leave entitlement. Any
additional time off is unpaid leave unless you come to
some agreement to pay extra on a discretionary basis.
If you agree a temporary
cessation of work then the contract continues as normal
and they return to work on the agreed date. If you are
not able to agree this break then you need to tell your
employee that and be clear about what you’re saying.
Explain to the employee that you can’t hold their job
open so they will have to resign if they no longer wish
to be bound by the contract. Tell them that they can
contact you on their return and you will see if you have
any suitable vacancies for them but you cannot guarantee
that you will be able to rehire them so there should be
no expectation of the contract continuing.
