Holiday cover FAQ

Holiday cover isn't perfect...
... but the fact that we can offer cover when someone's away is really valuable for our partners, but it's up to us to set their expectations right. Here's a few common questions around Quantico holiday cover:
in exceptional circumstances (if you’re lucky).

❓ Should holiday cover ensure our Partners get exactly the same level of support as if I was there?

🅰️ It's actually normal for projects to wait a week or two until you're back. The goal is for all the monthly essentials and unpredictable emergencies to be covered.
👌
❓ Who is responsible for making sure everything works while I’m away?

🅰️ It's your responsibility before you go away to plan out what needs to be covered, so you, your partner and the person covering you, all know what needs to happen

❓ Can I use my L&D time to plan the holiday cover?

🅰️ Nope. Learning & Development time is for just that. Plan the cover you need with your partners, in their allotted time - you’re working for them!

❓ Should I be available to fix emergencies while I’m away?

🅰️ No way. You’ve planned your cover. That’s what it is for. You can relax totally guilt free
