Time off for election duties

19 March 2025

The employee leave scheme policy has been updated so that you can apply for paid time off for election duties.

You can apply for a maximum of 2 days paid leave for Derbyshire County Council election duties. This forms part of the 18 days or 36 half days you're able to apply for to carry out public duties.

Any applications are subject to manager approval.

You can read more about this in the time off for public duties section of the employee leave scheme policy, available on our employee leave schemes and flexible working page.
