[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Larla--
Thanks for your email. The pictures you sent of Larlita are just precious. 
Unfortunately I cannot approve your request for vacation from August 1-14. As you know, we have to balance out the workload when one of us is on vacation. We already scheduled for others to take leave during that time. The best I can do is to approve Aug 1-7 with a return date of August 8th. We look forward to seeing you then. Please let me know what questions you might have and/or ways I can support your return.

This seems like a good start.

Setting aside the debate about what's fair for paid leave etc, what rubs me the wrong way is this woman is trying to tack on vacation at the last minute. The women I know who added on vacation to their paid maternity leave set this up well in advance before giving birth, so that they would not catch their employer off guard. [/quote]

Yeah using vacation to care for your newborn and avoid sending them to daycare at 12 weeks is so awful... You should only allow employees to use vacation for things like trips to the Bahamas.

The fact your employee even has to use vacation to care for a helpless baby is wrong and pathetic.  What is wrong with men?!  Why are us women contuining to work for men like this and being governed by rules and laws clearly created only for the benefit of men?  For example, retirement.  [/quote]

PP here. That's exactly what I did NOT say. I don't care if the employee wants to use her vacation to watch her baby, go on vacation, do whatever she wants - BUT she should have given more notice. I'm hopefully assuming the OP would have a similar problem if a male employee tried to request several weeks off at the last minute. [/quote]
