What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ca.
My co-worker had requested a day off a year in advance (which is to early) then when vacations where announced, requested it again (10 months in advance). Was told, this time is only for 1 week blocks of vacation, so then requested a third time when all vacation days could be requested. Was told this time that, that day was already taken by another person. OK, then due to more people having vacation days left over then empty days on the calender, they started to double up people on a single day. A few weeks before the requested day, he decides to ask again and e-mails the manager (proper procedure) and gives examples of all the double booked days through out the year. He was then called in the office (assuming so no one could hear) and was told that half the double booked days included “Leads” which don’t count and the other days where people that needed the day off because it was “important”. In the past “leads” have always been included as one of us and counted. Now, a week after the requested day passes, we notice on the vacation calendar that they had given that day to someone else at the last minute. The woman that got that day off told us that during her shift, the computers would be down for a few hours so they gave her the choice of adjusting her shift around this “or” taking a vacation day. My co-worker is upset about this and we are all pushing him to go to HR and report it. He is the type that doesn’t like to cause trouble and is worried about retaliation. The manager is from a different country and is know to retaliate and use intimidation to push her workers. Is there a correct thing to do or just forget it? He requested this particular day off for the next few years and they said he can’t do this. He’s is planning on calling in sick next year. He rarely calls in sick. Thanks for any suggestions.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
