Sick Leave has to come out of holiday leave?

[ajapale]

Section 19(3) of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 provides that an employee is entitled to two unbroken weeks of annual leave each year (if they have worked for 8 months in that leave year).

An interesting aside:
Under the organisation of Working Time Act the employer must grant/offer two unbroken weeks of annual leave each year (the employee can accept take individual days throughout the year. So in your case if you have already taken 10 days statutory leave in bits and pieces your employer cannot insist you take days here and there to cover periods when you are sick. He must offer you two unbroken weeks of leave.

Surely the recovery time would differ for each person. Maybe you might not need a week, but some people might.

That's what I did. A week off sounds OTT but that's not what the thread is about.

I took a week for mine, but mine got infected afterwards.

thanks folks, the dentist told me to take a week, so thats what I looked for, but you are right I am sure the recovery time differs from person to person

My dentist refused to remove wisdom teeth on Friday, just in case complications arose on the next day and he wouldn't be around. So we did it Thursday afternoon - as it happened, there were no complications.
