we have a woman that works for us that wanted a day off at short notice to take her husband to the hospital.
She works 2 days, Tuesday and Wednesday, on the Tuesday says that she can't come in tomorrow as she is taking her husband to hospital and that she needs Wednesday off, usually she should swap her shift with either Thursday Friday or Saturday's worker but she says she could not, so we have put her down for 1 days holiday, she says she would prefer it to be unpaid so she can keep her full entitlemant but we don't want this as it will leave us short the question is Are we in our right to do this?
