Disability Leave Scheme
The Disability Leave Scheme (DLS) provides a newly-disabled employee, or a disabled employee whose condition has deteriorated, a period of time off work to adjust to the change in personal and professional circumstances.
During this period of leave, the employee is able to assess their disability or condition and how it affects their job role, bridging the gap between sickness and a return to work.
The employee's job is protected whilst on DLS to give both the employee and their manager time to seek professional help to adapt to the new circumstances.
