how much notice do i have to give to work to have 1 day of?

Answer 1

It's dependent on the specific policy of your employer and the relationship you have with your supervisor. There is no law that dictates requirements.

As an example, my employer has a policy that I'm to request in writing at the start of the year all the days I want off for that year. In actual practice, I typically just call my boss or e-mail her the day before to let her know I'm taking off the next day.

Answer 2

That really depends on the type of work you do

If you were say, a shop worker = 3 days would be reasonable

If you were a nurse , teacher , fireman or police force
you may have to give between 1--2 weeks notice

So that a replacement could be found ,

A lot depends on the way your own work force is managed

Nobody is indispensable, but some form of arrangement,
needs to be found ,to keep the work strength up,
also to keep the workers happy

If you have a Union in your job , they would be able to advise you on how you stand for occasional days off .
If not maybe the Personnel office will assist you
Good luck

Answer 3

You should give as much notice as possible - unless it's an emergency. I mean, if you know you want a day off in February/March why not book it now and give colleagues time to organise cover etc. if necessary? I would try for a couple of weeks probably but this would depend on what my office situation is like. I would need cover so need to give as much notice. If you don't need to give that much notice I would say a week or two before the time off.

Answer 4

Two weeks is a luxury. My hubby works for the Department for Work and Pensions and has to give six weeks notice to take a day off - which is completely ridiculous!

I think if it's an emergency, like you have to go to your child's school, or your heating system breaks down etc. surely it would be reasonable to give only one or two days' notice?

Answer 5

Each company is different. Where I work we are asked to have two weeks notice except in emergencies. Where you obviously do not know you are going to need off.
However with only one day they can be more lenient.
If you work someplace where they do the scheduling and you work rotating or different shifts then it is only polite to do it enough in advance so they do not schedule you for that day.

Answer 6

Depends on the rules there. Usually is polite and customary if you know about the date to give 2 weeks notice, so they can find replacements if needed. But At my job I am lucky I can call and say I need the day and I can get it.

Answer 7

It depends on your company policy in this matter. Where I work you need a 24 hour notice for a day off, unless it's an emergency. It's customary to ask as soon as possible if you know in advance. If I want off, to go on a field trip with my sons school, I request off as soon as I have the details on exact days and times, this way I'm first on the list for having off. It ends up first requests have priority for days off.

Answer 8

where i work you have to give 1 days notice for 1 day off 2 days notice for 2 days off and so on but they are good i could ask for a week off tomorrow and as long as too many wasnt off i could have it off

Answer 9

It really depends on what type of job you have, and if you have a rotating schedule. If it is a schedule that is posted weekly you usually have to give 2 weeks notice so they can fill in that day with someone else.

Answer 10

I would say about 2 weeks if possible. If not at least a few days notice unless it's a emergency
