When is a day off not a day off? When you work in a school!
School support staff deserve the right to take a day off during term time, just like millions of other workers. Yet too many are forced to take holidays only when schools are closed.
GMB has heard heartbreaking stories from members who have had to beg for time off to attend funerals, weddings, and other important life events.
It’s simple: your school can manage without you for ONE day.
Some Local Authorities and Multi-Academy Trusts already allow staff to book a day off during term time. So why can’t this be the case everywhere?
If you’re off sick, does your school close? Of course not!
