Can a governor take time off work because he/she is a governor?
The Employment Rights Act 1996 gives employees the right to have time off to perform official duties, as long as ‘time off’ is reasonable in the particular circumstances. If a governor is in employment, they should clarify with their employer the conditions for releasing employees from work and whether this would be with or without pay.
