So, I started a new job back in November, my contract stated that I get 15 vacation days. Today I started work after the New Year & tried to book some time off, one vacation for 6 days, one for 4 days, and one for 5 days, my manager let me know that we can only take 5 days consecutively and denied my 6-day vacation. I had let her know this was not told to me when I was hired, stated on my contract, and is not stated on the employee handbook, she responded by sending me a 'Word Doc' of vacation requirements specific to our team. I let her know I had booked the vacation already and she said they would give me an 'exception' to have the extra day (ridiculous if you ask me) but to not do this again in the future without letting them know. Apparently, based on the 'Word Doc' that I was sent the only exceptions for 5+ day vacations are Weddings, Honeymoons & Engagements (which MAKES NO SENSE) & this worries me because I want to take a 2-week vacation in 2024, and afraid I will be denied. (I'm letting them a year + 6 months in advance). The manager said she will discuss the 2024 vacation with me on Friday, but just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this policy & if there is anything I can say or do to help me with my situation. Thank you!
