yeah i thought so too but according to the rules, because i knew about it prior to us going in then it had to be taken as holiday. My team leader then did protest it a couple of times for me like but they are the rules.

BS rules if you ask me mate... any of my staff have immediate family health issues, I let them take (paid) time off.
Have always worked that way and enjoyed the same reciprocal from the various hierarchies I've worked for.
Family comes first mate, everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday !!!

Compassionate Leave is usually unpaid. Your employer may pay you, but they're not obliged to. Not an option for most people.

Could somebody please explain the problem with the word pants; I don't see one as a non-native speaker. I also hear it a lot on American television; for instance: he's trying to get in her pants.
I also know the uses like: Your car is pants.

Except they won't fit you in a few months, thus a total waste of money. But you carry on with your mismatching office suit on your wedding day, I'm sure it'll look great on the photos compared to those rubbish wedding suits.

the suit will match, it is a charcoal gret plain suit if i remember right so the kecks will be easy to replace from the same store.
I mean i still have the receipt so can still take the whole thing back if i wish. Just at the time the kecks seemed something to aim for, before reality of it being impossible kicked in haha

A quick google search made it more confusing. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-trousers-and-pants
Quotes like:
"Both Trousers and Pants refer to the same garment, they both refer to an outer garment covering the body from waist to ankles, with a separate part for each leg. The difference between them lies in usage. The main difference between trousers and pants is that the word trouser is commonly used in the UK whereas the word pants is commonly used in America. It is also important to note that in the UK, pants refer to undergarments [later contradicted by somebody else]."
"I'm from the UK and I can tell you that there is a definite north south divide when it comes to pants. Up north we have always used pants to describe any outer garment that you wear on your bottom half with two legs, be it jeans, cargo or combat pants (see what I did there) peddle-pushers or trousers (formal slacks) etc. I have never even heard of underwear being called pants until recently, which is my reason for looking it up. This perplexes me somewhat. We call our underwear underpants for boys - general term for different types ie boxer's, briefs ect, and knickers for girls also which have different types. Simple. I think the difference lies in the word trousers. For me, this conjures up images of formal attire, like you would wear as a suit or with a jacket. So calling jeans your trousers would be wrong up north. We use pants as a generic word.I don't know whether southerners have to identify specific words in that case, because they can't use pants if it means something else!"
So it's a tribal thing.

To get inside a girls pants really doesn't mean her trousers. I'd have thought this was pretty obvious. It's also pretty obvious that Ash means trousers when he says pants.
