I've been working at my job for almost a year.
Every year we have 10 FED (sick days) & 10 vacation days. I had a bad flu this year, yet i had a doctor's note to prove it. They counted it in my 10 FED days. then a couple other times i tried to get time off by useing my vacation days but they wouldn't let me so there goes the rest of my FED days.
I still have 10 vacation days but when i asked to use them MONTHS PRIOR i get a "No" or a stupid excuse.
I have a friend coming from the UK and want to take off just 2 days to go visit her. I haven't seen her in years. Of course, they would not let me use my vacation days. They told me i NEED a doctor's note. I'm not surprised.
I was just wondering if there's any way for me to somehow get time off work? any excuse? pretend i'm sick and get a doctor's note? Sorry, i'm determined. =P
Of course, this job isn't my career and i'm just saving up for University.

Okay, sorry, lemme add more details.
i just go by what my supervisor calls it. He allows us to have 10 sick days without a doctor's note, but anything after that you need one.
I just want to get time off, and know if there's a way for me to get around it. I'm not sick.

How much closer are you to your goal for University? - Because, they are trying to get out of paying you for your vacation days.
Doctors note = Docked pay.
Docked pay = less money for University
Less money for University = Working for them longer
Staying their longer = Paying to visit friends and less for University.
Solution: Have your friend meet you half way for dinner or something, so that you can show up for work the next day.

Let me straighten it out for you. FED means medical leave; this needs to be supported by a doctor. As for vacation leave, you need to apply for it and this does not require any supported document from a doctor. However, for TIME OFF, its subjective and at the sole discretion of your employer.

They have to let you use you Vacation-days.How long ago did you put in to be off? My job requires 2 weeks notice, unless it is an emergency.
I would check with Human Resources.

See your doctor, and get a note for the two days.

Put in for the two days off and take them. They do get mad but what can you do there your to use when you need them.
