I just started a new job today, and at my interview I told my boss I would need a week off in the upcoming month, and another day off for a class trip. I got the date of the trip today, but have yet to get the dates for the week I will need off (I am being a counselor at a camp through my school). Should I wait and tell her both at once, or should I go ahead and give her the one day I need off?
I hate seeming demanding, but I have already made a commitment. Should I call her after work, write her a note, or tell her in person?
This is my first job ever so I am not familiar with this type of thing yet.

It is not a job arranged through my school, but there is at least one high schooler working there each year.

She should get as much notice as you can give her since she may need to schedule things differently while you are away .
If its a job arranged through your school she may be used to dealing with your sort of time off requirements .
If you can see her during the work day , that might be best, but write it as a note to her anyway. Then you can make a quick stop, say you have the trip date, but not the week, and here it is , and give her the note.
If she is not available leave her the note .
Generally dont call the boss outside of work unless its an emergency.

i does no longer ask. 3 weeks right into a job, you're no longer yet an asset to the employer, in case you be attentive to what I advise. some retail shops forbid workers to take trip days between Thanksgiving (or day in the previous) and New Years by using holiday season. once you're working finished time, you won't have gathered any trip time in any respect, and once you're section time, you in all probability have no. i might in all probability bite your tongue and purely spend the holiday journeys on my own - or better yet, circulate to a chum's abode.

She already knows about your needs so that is good. As soon as you know the dates speak up.

You should give them as much notice as possible. If you wait, it may cause an undue hardship, especially if it's just next month!

Open communications is key to any job, the more time they have to plan for your absence the better.
