[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this particular situation, and especially given the nature of her job responsibilities two months is not enough. No employee working for a company is allowed to take vacation without first requesting those dates off from her employer. I have never had a job where I could book a vacations without first requesting those dates in advance. My jobs required that I request time off as early as possible as possible. Our plans to take vacation in December was cancelled when my husband’s employer declined to allow him to take 2 weeks off in December. [/quote]
Is OP your boss? Because they both seem equally shitty.

Not everyone works for such awful people/companies/employers. [/quote]

DP. Two week vacation would be unusual in my corporate field. A vacation that long would typically limited to like honeymoon or an international anniversary trip. Def not a trip with friends, and definitely would be cleared beforehand. And employee would need to help assist with coverage while she was away.  Though I don’t know how relevant this  is to nanny life….[/quote]
Your employers need to know the exact details of your PTO request before they approve it? Is that even legal? I thought it would be private. [/quote]

Oh no, sorry - I didn’t mean that my employer refuses vacation requests based on the exact details. I just mean that in my corporate work experience, folks don’t take two weeks off unless it’s a big trip, like something really important like a honeymoon, and it’s cleared beforehand. Given the nature of our work, going silent for two weeks would be unusual.

In some ways I could see this being similar in the nanny world, since taking two weeks off really does put a nanny family in a jam. They can’t really cover that and work full time. But on the other hand, seems like they can find someone to fill in, unlike some folks in corporate jobs. [/quote]
