Temporary and acting managers
- A duty manager can be replaced by a temporary manager if they are:
- dismissed or resign
- on annual or sick leave
- absent for any reason.
- If you are made a temporary manager, you must apply for a manager's certificate within two working days.
- If a temporary or acting manager is appointed, you need to note the change in your premise's manager register.
- An acting manager can replace a duty manager on annual leave for six weeks in any 12-month period.
- A duty manager on sick leave or absent from work can be replaced for three weeks at a time by an acting manager.
Keep a record of your managers
As well as notifying us of a duty manager change, you need to keep a record of all managers.
You must keep each manager record for two years.
Police and licensing inspectors visiting your premises can ask to see your manager records.
You also need to attach a copy of your records when you apply to renew your alcohol licence.
You can use our Register of duty managers template to record the information and keep it on file.
