Taking days off during the first few months

I

Hey

Just a hypothetical question:

Let's say I start a graduate scheme with an accounting firm in september and my graduation ceremony would be in october for which i'd need two days to attend. would that be generally a problem in the uk?

C

It's usually not a problem. You'd have to give them the date as soon as you know it, and you may have to use annual leave for it.

P

This should be absolutely fine, just make your potential new employers aware of the dates/reason for the absence in advance. In any case, I am sure they wouldn't refuse attendance at a graduation ceremony! :)
