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
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.
