This does not need to be recorded or reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exception is if the Skilled Worker will be unreachable by phone or email at any time. In these circumstances, they must inform the HR department before departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Normal Absence Reporting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A &#8216;normal absence&#8217; constitutes sickness, annual leave, maternity, or paternity leave, shared parental leave, or adoption leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skilled Workers are entitled to the same amount of sickness, annual leave, maternity, or paternity leave, shared parental leave, or adoption leave as any other employee, and these absences must be recorded. Recording all employees&#8217; leave is standard practice, but sponsored visa holders must have these records available for auditing purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HR department must, however, report any changes to a Skilled Worker&#8217;s salary due to absence to the Home Office within five days. For example, if the employee were to receive Statutory Maternity Pay, Statutory Sick Pay, or take a period of unpaid leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also some flexibility regarding maternity, paternity, shared parental, and adoption leave when it comes to Skilled Worker&#8217;s unpaid leave allowance. However, it must still be reported to the Home Office.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sabbatical Leave<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sabbatical leave is not permitted for employees on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/skilled-worker-visa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skilled Worker visa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The employee would be considered failing to fulfil the role described on their visa, which would require reporting to the Home Office, and the visa would be cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Time Spent Outside the UK<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no restrictions for Skilled Workers on spending time outside the UK, but it is essential to keep a record of all travel if the employee is considering applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, detailed travel records must be kept for the five-year qualifying period. There is also a continuous residence requirement for applicants, who must show they have not spent more than 180 days outside the UK in any 12 months during the qualifying period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More information on reporting absences for Skilled Workers can be found on the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/skilled-worker-visa\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home Office website.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Automate Your Absence Management<\/h2>\n<p>Complying with absence laws is easiest when you have a digital software to automate <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/holidays-leaves-software\">time off management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With Factorial\u2019s all-in-one software, employees can request time off with just a few clicks.
