Handle a request from a pension scheme trustee for time off to carry out their duties or to attend training
Key points
Employees who are pension scheme trustees are entitled to time off to enable them to perform their duties as trustees and to receive training relevant to the duties of a trustee.
The entitlement is to a reasonable amount of paid time off.
If an employer refuses an employee time off or fails to pay the employee for the time off, the employee may present a claim to the employment tribunal.
