Claiming back Annual leave
Show your support
As previous said, just let your employer know and they’ll change it to sick. I had covid while I was on annual leave, and got my annual leave back.
Some employers will require you to contact them to report sick as you would if you were due in work. Take a look at your policy or give them a call to ask
As Emma said, where I work you wouldn’t get it back because you didn’t notify workplace that you are sick (unless you did, but it’s not mentioned in the post).
I haven't notified them for the past 2 days, but will contact them today. Fingers crossed they will backdate it to Wednesday or I guess worse case scenario is I will atleast get today back if I speak to them today. Thank you all
You might need a GP note
It’ll completely depend on your manager, mine has been happy to cancel my annual leave and change it to sick leave when this has happened to me
I have. It was offered though when I went back. They just changed my absence on the system from leave to sickness
@Bethan did you inform them on your days off that you were unwell or just when you returned?
From what I remember I think I'd gone off sick just before my leave started and I hadn't recovered so I said on the phone I had leave booked now so would be back after the leave I had booked. When I got back my manager was like "would you have been back in work if you hadn't had your leave" and I said very unlikely and he offered to change it so I had my leave back. I think how accommodating you are depends on management!
Just contact your employer and ask to switch the day ls from a/l to sick leave
