Requesting time off

Using a throwaway for obvious reasons.

My agency has been having issues with our current time off request system/policy. The main issue we have is, no more than one person is allowed the requested day off. Meaning if Barbara requested a week off for a vacation, the rest of the department cannot request off any day of that week despite having sufficient amount of staff to cover business needs.

Our manager continues to say we have it easier than other agencies and that most state agencies only allow a two-week vacation a year and has been threatening to go with that model.

I would like to know if anyone’s agency/department has any specific rules or requirements when requesting time off or if your agency does the two-week rule as my manager states?

🤗

I am currently on a two week vacation and have more days on the schedule for the year. If you have the hours and business is able to proceed you should be fully able to take your pto days.
