@FulhamFC: I have got exactly the same question!
I was wondering as well for what period you can take unpaid leave in the winter? I read somewhere here on the forum for 4 months + one regular month/year off, so that's 5 months in a row?
But what happens if you come back? Do you have to do an OCC then or whatsoever of can you fly the line immediately.
I would rather stay at home with my kids and family in the winter than doing 30 hours/month.
Let me know guys and once again: THX FOR THE INPUT!!
