Question 107 of 134
Refer to the following scenario for the next 2 questions.
In a mid-sized company, the leave policy states that for leave lasting more than two days, an employee must submit a written request at least two weeks in advance. An employee is planning to take a vacation requiring ten days off and submits a leave request three days before the vacation is to begin. Because of the late notice, the supervisor denies the request. The employee is upset and contacts HR. The HR manager finds out that the employee made a verbal request one month prior to the vacation time. The supervisor had given verbal approval, so the employee made travel plans and has already paid all related expenses.
What should be the HR manager’s first step in addressing the situation?
Answers
Ask the employee to provide documentation of paid travel plans to verify when the trip was booked.
