The Legal Risk Score of a Climate Emergency Leave Policy Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The policy permits unlimited paid leave, which could lead to potential abuse if not monitored or regulated properly, affecting the operational capacity of the business.
- Approval for leave is subject to unspecified criteria, introducing uncertainty for employees about when leave requests might be granted.
- The document lacks specificity regarding the documentation or proof required to validate the eligibility for leave, which might lead to inconsistencies in how the policy is applied.
