i have an employee who just booked a trip to Europe for 13 days, however he only has 5 days of vacation time left. He is full time and paid hourly. He was so excited when he was telling me about his trip, I had to stop him and ask if he had requested the time off yet, because I hadn't seen a request. We are small and we usually don't let more than 1 employee off at a time, and our policy is that vacation must be requested. I post memo's twice a year telling our employees not to make their plans before they buys their tickets. Of course we all know, "it is easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission". Had he asked in advance we would have denied that amount of time off. Also someone else is already scheduled off during that time, and we our busy now. Any suggestions?
