Rights of a Carer at work for time off with dependant

Hi all,

I have had to have 5 days off with hubby recently (unpaid) as he was very sick with an infection and was 14 days in hospital. My workplace were not very amused by it, I read this online.

“You are allowed ‘reasonable’ time off to deal with the emergency and make any arrangements that are needed. There’s no set amount of time allowed to deal with an unexpected event involving a dependant - it will vary depending on what the event is but for most cases one or two days should be sufficient to deal with the problem.”

They are putting pressuire on my to do flexible working which I cannot afford to do.

Does anyone know my rights please?

Thanks

Caz
