Part 3Taking Carer’s Leave
Returning to work after carer’s leave10
1
An employee who returns to work after an isolated period of carer’s leave is entitled to return to the job in which they were employed immediately before the absence.
2
Where an employee takes carer’s leave and any statutory leave consecutively, carer’s leave does not contribute to the continuity of a period of absence in respect of the employee’s right to return to the job in which they were previously employed before their absence.
3
The right to return in this regulation is a right to return—
a
with the employee’s seniority, pension and similar rights as they would have been if the employee had not been absent, and
b
on terms and conditions not less favourable than those which would have applied if the employee had not been absent.
