If you move on a day that falls on your typical workday, there are occasions where it may be difficult to get time off from work to organise the move.
If you have any remaining annual leave, consider reserving a few days of your holiday entitlement for the moving and unpacking process. It is advisable to provide ample advance notice of this to your employer. Once a moving date has been established, promptly request time off from work.
The legal minimum annual leave entitlement in the United Kingdom is 28 days, which includes public and bank holidays. The precise number of days to which you are entitled will be specified in your company handbook and employment contract. In many workplaces it is customary to use all annual leave within a single year.
If you have used up your entitlement to annual leave, your employer is not obligated by law to grant you time off for the move. Nonetheless, many employers are flexible and may offer a period of unpaid leave, but this is at their discretion.
If you intend to take a break from work for the move, coordinate with the moving company to ensure their availability coincides with your schedule. At Merseyside Movers & Storers, if we are given ample notice, we will try to move you on your preferred date. We can also save you time for house removals in Liverpool and the surrounding area by packing your belongings for you.
