This form can be used for booking time off – whether it is annual leave or sickness/absence.
Booking time off for Annual leave
Before submitting your annual leave request, please read the following key information:
Who approves annual leave?
- Only your VGC Labour Manager or Recruitment Consultant can approve your leave request.
- Whilst you should keep your site supervisor informed of leave requests and follow any site-specific annual leave procedures, only VGC can provide final approval.
How Many Days Can I Request?
- You can request up to 10 consecutive working days (2 weeks) of leave at a time.
- Requests over 10 days will be automatically rejected.
- If you believe there are exceptional reasons for requesting more than 2 week’s leave you must contact your VGC Labour Manager explaining your reasons for the extended leave request.
- Your request will be reviewed by VGC in consultation with site and you will receive a written decision confirming whether your extended leave has been approved.
How Much Notice Is Required?
You must give twice the notice of the length of the leave you are requesting. For example if you want 5 days leave you must give VGC 10 days’ notice
Insufficient notice may result in annual leave being rejected.
IMPORTANT: Do not go on annual leave until you have received approval from VGC.
- Do not commit to any payments or go on leave until you have received approval from a VGC Labour Manager/recruitment consultant.
- Requests may be rejected due to the operational needs of VGC, our client, or a failure to give sufficient notice.
- If you take time off without approval, this will be treated seriously and will be classed as unauthorised absence:
- The time off will be unpaid
- You may be subject to disciplinary action
- In serious cases, this could result in your employment being terminated for gross misconduct
Booking time off for illness / injury
If you are absent from work due illness / injury please complete this form detailing the period of absence that you will be away.
To qualify for sick pay you will need to complete an absence self certification for the first 7 days of absence. This needs to be e mailed to enq@vgcgroup.co.uk.
For absences over 7 days, you are required to submit a ‘Fit for work form’ from your medical practitioner. This should be emailed to enq@vgcgroup.co.uk
