Time Off for Family Emergencies Policy and Procedure
This policy outlines the rights and obligations of employers and employees in the case of a family emergency - clearly defining the difference between an emergency and an ongoing situation, and lays out the procedures that employees must follow in order to take such leave.
In common with all policies, this policy should be signed by the most senior person responsible for its operation (normally the head of the Company) and all employees should be informed of its contents, with a central copy held on a 'Personnel Policy File' with all of your other policies and procedures. Once you have established this as Company Policy, please ensure you and your employees comply with it.
Other documents you may wish to consider implementing in addition to this policy include:
