Direct action leave

This RadHR policy, drawn from a wider staff handbook, provides up to 6 days of paid direct action leave per year (pro-rated for part-time staff) in response to the climate emergency. Eligible activities include attending or preparing for demonstrations and related voluntary action. It is a concise, ready-to-adapt clause suited to organisations wishing to formally recognise climate activism as a staff entitlement. The policy contains no eligibility criteria beyond employment status, and no detail on how leave is requested or approved.
