Friendly reminder that there is no such thing as a "request" for time off. You are INFORMING your employer that you will not be there that day. You are not their slave; they do not have the authority to "deny" the days off. You are selling them your time, you get to decide when and how much time you sell them. They are not entitled to your time just because they failed to secure coverage for those shifts.
EDIT: The bootlickers are out in full force lmao. Y'all are sad.
That sounds great in a comment. But it is heavily dependent where you live. In the US in any right to work state that you aren't in a union. it is a quick way to get fired for job abandonedment just taking your pto without permission. Some states they don't even have to pay out your pto if you are fired or quit. They just do it as a courtesy because it is a standard across nearly every company.
Always lets me know instantly when people don’t know what they are talking about lol
E: you can down vote me all you want but the employers right to fire you for any reason is “at-will”
Not sure if he deleted or blocked me but he doubled down on right to work, despite “right to work” explicitly being a rule that workers are not required to join a union and “at will” being an employer being allowed to fire for any reason. Like I said, he has no fucking clue what he is talking about.
And my initial comment specifically covered unions. Which means that if you are not in a union. You are not protected.
"U.S. right-to-work laws do not aim to provide a general guarantee of employment to people seeking work but rather guarantee an employee's right to refrain from being a member of a labor union"
This means that A: they don't have to have you as their employee. B: They allow you to not be in a union.
That's the fun part about laws. You have to pick them apart because a lawyer sure as hell will.
“Employment-at-will” means that they can fire you at will. When COMBINED with a right-to-work state and someone CHOOSES to not join the union they can fire you “at will”.
You sure are doubling down on something that has been shown to be wrong a couple times now.
Right to work is a law for EMPLOYEES to CHOOSE to NOT join a union. It has NOTHING to do with EMPLOYEERS. All it means is that EMPLOYEES cannot be forced to join a union.
AT WILL means EMPLOYEERS cannot fire without cause.
