Add Comment Question: On Nov 1st, I just came back to work after 4 month STD leave ( Anxiety / Depression ).. i sent a vacation request for one week for Nov 19- 23. This is an allowable week to be off from my office rules. BUT, my request got rejected. Reason: my employer said i just off 4 months, the other co -workers had to cover for my work. Now, if i am off agian, then, the workload on others will be too stressful. My reasons: While i was off on my sick leave, it was up to my boss / employer to look for extra man power to deal with the shortage of staff. I am not responsible for these lack of management skill! My QUESTION: IF I AM GOING TO TAKE THOSE DAYS OFF ANYWAY.. WHEN I AM BACK, I MAY GOT FIRED OF MISCONDUCT, DONT I???? IF YES ON MISCONDUCT, CAN I GET UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ON MY PARTICULAR CASE? THANK YOU Answer: your employer can dictate the timing of vacation requests so if they are not allowing you to go and you go anyway that would be insubordination and can lead to a for cause termination and the denial of your EI benefits.
