[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 5449478, member: 17867"] Agreed, and this is also something to bring up on your local level. In our local an “option day” has to be requested at least five days in advance and there are specific numbers that are to be allowed off. Not perfect but sounds better than your situation. If it’s available they have to approve. I learned that it’s a good idea to understand the attendance system and use it to your advantage. Sometimes there is something you need to be at and you can’t get the day.. I tell my center manager straight up that I need to Call In.. and I don’t use sick if I’m not sick it’s still an attendance occurrence but can’t come at me with “dishonesty“. If you can keep your attendance at 1-2 occurrences in a rolling nine month period you can take an important day when you need to and your like Teflon. But if you call in sick on a Friday every other month then suddenly you need a scheduled day off and can’t get it….well don’t worry every 1 day suspension I’ve seen handed out has never been served!
