absent before or after paid holiday

With regards to ABSENT BEFORE OR AFTER PAID HOLIDAY....... In my 30 years working for both a major corporation and as a manager for several small companies I have rarely seen employees abuse taking time off before or after a holiday.

We always allowed a given number of employees to take vacation time prior to or after a holiday and rarely had people calling in "sick" in order to extend the holiday.

Yes, people might take advantage of the situation, but one just deals with it when, or if, it happens.

Hope this helps!

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
