My dad has cancer so I take time off work or say I can't attend ..I work for an agency...They have now asked for proof he has this...have they a right to do that...
Probably not, but it sounds a reasonable thing to ask for. It won't be that they don't believe you, they just need evidence to justify to their line managers their decision to give you time off work. I worked for the NHS who insisted I was formally signed off work by my GP when I took time off to recover from chemo. As a manager, I had to ask for supporting evidence when granting compassionate leave to my own staff.
