smg15 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's supposed to snow sunday night in my area and I put in for a vacation day for Monday, Feb 2nd. So if the place I work is closed due to snow then what happens to my vacation day? It's just lost? I have a feeling that it will be a big snow storm all because I am off and the whole staff will be home along with me. I will probably just lose the day so I guess the only thing to do is call out the following Monday Link to post Share on other sites

Author smg15 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah, that's sucks. You know that's how life is lol Last week we were promised snow and it didn't happen but since I am off it will happen on Monday. So if it does I will just have the first 3 mondays in feb off 2/2-snow 2/9-sick day 2/16-holiday Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieT Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Talk to H.R. if the entire company is shut down due to snow, you might be able to keep your vacation day. Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Talk to your line manager rather than HR. I know mine would give the day back. Don't take the Mondays off like that pretending to be sick creating long weekends. It shows that you are unreliable, your requests in the future won't be respected as a result.

Shepp Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Bad luck i guess! ...Still plenty of jobs don't shut for snow so count yourself lucky if you get the Tuesday off too! Link to post Share on other sites
SunnySide0418 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't see why you would lose the day if the company is closed. That wouldn't be right. That's almost like them using a vacation day for a holiday. I'd speak up on this one.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pink_sugar Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Do you normally get paid on days the company is closed due to snow? Some companies do not compensate for this sort of thing, especially if you are considered a part time employee. If it's not usually paid for closure due to snow, then consider yourself lucky to get the day paid. If it is usually compensated and you're taking a vacation day, I would just talk to whoever handles payroll or your manager to see if anything can be done. If not, it's only one vacation day...life goes on. I sure wish I had vacation pay, but I don't get any until I am given 40 hours a week at my company. Right now, I am at 30. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 pink sugar is right. Unless you are salary then it creates that grey area. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author smg15 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 well luckily it only was a inch of snow and mostly rain so the job didn't have to close due to snow. I just felt that just because it was me and I was off it would be 20 inches of snow lol Link to post Share on other sites
