If you know you will be taking two weeks away from work or more, a handover plan can help you and your colleagues to manage work and deadlines.
This guidance could apply to employees who are:
- going on long term leave, including family leave
- taking a career break
- a reservist called into full time service
- leaving their current role and duties
Handing over your work
A handover plan is a good way of detailing all the relevant information in one place. Follow the guidance on how to create a handover plan (PDF, 90KB).
You and your manager should work together on this to support a smooth transition when you go on leave and for when you return from leave.
