I work full time- thursday in one place and the other four days in another place. I've been offered an interview for the thursday but the company I work for is less than keen on me having time off. But if I rearrange the interview the other company could feel the same way. Do either company have obligations to allow me the time off as theoretically I'm part time at both jobs. How can I force them to give me time off, or should I rearrange and phone in sick to the other job?

One is a temp job in a school therefore no holidays possible, the other is a shop job- both managers are aware that there jobs are not ones I wish to remain in for any longer than necessary amd that I am actively looking for work.

If I were in your shoes I would just call in sick at the other job. While it's very commendable that you want to be up front with both employers, they have the company's best interest at heart and will most likely not give you the time off. Also, if they find out you're interviewing with another employer, they might try to find a way to just replace you, since they think you are going to leave anyway.

If holiday isnt an option your gonna have to call in sick. Better that than just not turning up. If you tell your boss you are off for a job interview he might decide to let you go whether you get the other job or not

Can't you just book time off as holiday from either job. It often not a good idea to tell you present employer that you want time off to go to an interview elsewhere....

The only time your firm is obliged to give you time off for interviews is if theyve made you redundant. Booking a holiday would be a good idea.
