  3. Force Majeure Leave, as per Irish statute, must be something similar in the UK Every employer will receive an employee request for time off to care for a family member. However, many employers are unsure what an employee’s rights are. This article considers the ‘family friendly’ entitlements of Carer’s, Force Majeure and Parental Leave. Force Majeure Leave, If an employee has an urgent family crisis/emergency, the Parental Leave Acts 1998-2013 allows a right to paid leave from work for up to 3 days in a rolling 12 month period and 5 days in a rolling 36 month period. This is known as Force Majeure Leave. A close family member is defined as: A child or adopted child of the employee; The husband/wife/partner of the employee; Parent or grandparent of the employee; Brother or sister of the employee; Person to whom the employee has a duty of care (that is, he/she is acting in loco parentis); A person in a relationship of domestic dependency with the employee, including a same-sex partner; Persons of any other class (if any) as may be prescribed. It is important to note that this leave entitlement only applies where the employee’s immediate presence is indispensable due to the illness or injury of a close relative. This is a fairly strict interpretation and generally relates to a medical emergency. Given the ‘emergency’ element of this leave it is very rare that an employee would be entitled to consecutive days of force majeure leave as the immediacy and emergency would have ended on day one. Employees are entitled to be paid while on force majeure leave and employers are entitled to request evidence of the emergency where possible. In addition, employers are required to keep records of force majeure leave for up to eight years.

  9. Why not hire a bigger generator or a logsplitter for that matter...........
