My current job that I've worked at since last April has changed vacation rules without any kind of notification. Everyone works 5 days in a row and has 2 off, and we start out with 10 days total of vacation time. Last year I used 1-3 days scattered across the whole year. This year we give our days we want to plan for the year and they say that you must use your vacation day in full weeks. Meaning you're off 2 days, take off your 5 day work week, and have your 2 days off again.
Meaning I can only take off twice a year, for a total of being off 9 days straight
We are 1st shift and 2nd/3rd dont have this rule/policy and nothing is shown in our employee handbook. Other workers said that its been like that forever before COVID happened and that last year was an exception. Never once did anyone ever bring this up at all.
Anyone have a similar situation at their job?
