Absence from Work

Our vision of being the East of England’s most valued organisation is only achievable through the combined and consistent effort of all our colleagues, so your regular attendance at work is really important.


However, we know that feeling supported when you need time away from work is important too. This section outlines the various support we offer our colleagues in different situations, alongside outlining our general expectations regarding attendance and absence. 

Need some help?


Please have a chat with your line manager if you have any questions or concerns about any of the policies within our Colleague Handbook, or if you need any further support or guidance. If you require any information in an alternative format, please email peopleteam@eastofengland.coop.

Whilst we've tried to make our Colleague Handbook friendlier and more accessible, our policies and procedures are just as important. Please bear in mind that any breaches of our policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action.
