[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens all the time at my work because we need X number of people. If Jane requests 2 weeks off and then Mary requests those same 2 weeks off, Mary's leave will be denied. It has nothing to do with having kids or not. You are covering someone's leave so can't take time off during it. [/quote]

Terrible company.  That means you don’t have enough staff hired. If people cannot use their leave then you need to hire more people.  Just another routine example of how companies continue to get away with wage and compensation theft.  You can’t promise compensation that includes X amount of days for leave in a contract then deny use if that earned leave.  It’s compensation theft.[/quote]

Depends what the job is. I'm an RN. We only have a certain number of FT and PT positions available because we only have so many shifts available this week. While we have per diem and float pool people, they choose their days and hours so it isn't required they fill in for vacation time.  So if 3 night shift nurses want the same week off, not all 3 will get it because the floor won't be staffed appropriately.  So it isn't really a matter of not having enough staff hired.  [/quote]
