i may have forgot to add that if you scheduled the time off in advance or used sick time, you don't lose it. But, in this case, it was Thanksgiving (get Holiday pay for Thanksgiving and day after) and she didn't have any Vacation or sick time left that late in the year. The worse part was, now that i am the supervisor, I know that the former supervisor had to manually put that in to cancel Holiday pay, it didn't automatically do it. knowing she was sick like that, he could just not done that and it wouidn't have thown up any red flags. I get the policy, because people do tend to call in before or after a holiday. but i have no problem with exceptions.
