vacation request process

[Anonymous]

We have always considered doctor's appointments to be covered under sick leave first, then vacation leave if there is no sick leave remaining.

Our nanny has the same issue: never runs by date options for her summer vacation. Despite being told to.

One time she dropped a bomb that it was the week if my second child's due date- we said no, need to pick another week. First week of school should be a No as well.

I work a job where every personal appointment is posted ahead of time on a 50 person group calendar and you need written pre approval for vacation weeks so bosses can ensure business continuity.

And I agree, as a care provider you cannot do appointments during the day without causing an issue. Try to find doctors and dentists that have weekend days- they do exist. Or again, consult with employer on dates and times. 13 in five months seems like a lot for anyone, much less a solo nanny.
