My company also has an arrangemet for "special" leave (with pay)for 5 or so days a year for emergency work i.e. CFS and SES.
As we are a 24/7 company the conditions are a bit harder to go at the "drop of the hat" if you are on shift, but easer if on just day work.
We have app 35 CFS members from 10 brigades working at the one site.
From the comments posted here it seems several companies, both large and small have similar arrangements in place.
It shows that they do have an appreciation of the service we provide to the community.
They are all to be congratulated for this.
