Disability Leave

Conference instructs the Executive Council to raise the issue of 'Disability Leave' at the NJC as a matter for discussion, with the aim of having such leave incorporated into the 'Grey Book'. The implementation of Disability Leave as defined within the TUC publication, Sickness Absence and Disability Discrimination into the Scheme of Conditions of Service (Sixth Edition 2004 - Revised 2009), would require all UK FRSs to ensure that where an FBU member is registered disabled, that any sickness directly attributable to that disability should be disregarded in the calculation of sickness absence monitoring.
