Rearrange a meeting to discuss a statutory request in relation to study or training
Key points
Where an employee makes a statutory request in relation to study or training, the employer must usually invite the employee to a meeting to take place within 28 days of receipt of the request. The employee has the right to be accompanied at this meeting by a fellow worker.
Where the employee's chosen companion is not available at the time proposed by the employer, it must rearrange the meeting to a time proposed by the employee provided that this meets certain criteria.
There may be other unforeseen circumstances where it is necessary to reschedule the meeting.
