Can I take days off if I don't have any vacation?

[Brownie24]

I haven't earned any vacation time since I've only been working for 7 months....
Would they approve taking 3 days off? I know it's without paid.
Do they usually allow that?

I assume you work inside the hub. Just talk to your PT sup about who to talk to. I managed to get two days off not long after my 30 days a while back. Volume wasn't bad and staffing was fine and I'm not a problem child. Gave them a week notice and they let me have it. Some places seem a lot stricter though. Good luck.

Once they approve it, make sure to remind them a day or two in advance that you won't be there that day because of your R.O. We've had a few people bump heads with FT's and PT's in the past when they'd "forget" about it and receive a phone call demanding why they weren't showing up for work.

Also don't forget to check the SRO to make sure they accurately log that it was an R.O. and not a "no call."

it depends on how much advance notice you give them. if you give them advance notice make sure they write it down and remind them. ups has a habit of forgetting.

If it's not in writing, it never happened.

Right? It's like they have a business to run that's planned around earned time off or something!
