Good Morning all, and Happy New Year.
Quick question please.
My wife works in the public sector for a local Council. Back in September she was told that she would be required to undertake training over three weekends in the first quarter of 2015, for which she would either be paid, or she could take time off in lieu. No problem. The training is compulsory, and is required for her to continue in her role.
They asked her if there were any dates that she would not be available, and she provided these some months ago.
Just before Christmas, she was informed when the training would be, and two of the dates selected are for dates which she had already informed them that said she was unavailable.
She went back and informed them of this, and now they are asking why exactly she cannot attend, in other words what are her specific reasons for not being able to attend.
Do they have the right to do this?
What's the difference between having a holiday booked, attending a wedding, child care issues, previously purchased theatre tickets, football matches etc
She wants and needs to do the training, but wants to know where she stands.
Thanks.
