take annual leave for Eid (dates vary)
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Eid dates depend on the moon sighting and can change last minute. Flexibility with leave booking is required.
For Employees
I would like to book annual leave for Eid. Please note the exact date depends on the moon sighting, so I may need to shift this request by 1 day at short notice.
For Employers
Employers should accommodate requests for religious holidays unless there is a genuine inability to run the service.
Key Considerations
- Can you be flexible if the date changes by 24 hours?
- Refusing this without a critical operational reason could be indirect discrimination.
