When Leaving a Job...

Did work the last 2 weeks full time? LEave early?
My job has changed so much and it just got worse.
I also have a long commute, hardly get paid anything and spend a lot in daycare, tolls, gas, etc. No raises in a long time and since we got bought out noone knows what's going on. I plan to be a SAHM and eventually go for my Masters.


Anyway, I gave my notice last week. I'll get paid for my vacation time, but not the Floating Holidays I had left.
I asked my manager that since Friday is the day b4 a long holiday weekend anyway if I can use my FH.
She was surprised. First off in my business it's dead since I work for sales guys that work from home (I was never allowed to). Plus, I'm leaving and will lose the FH. THen she asked if I wanted a half day or full day.
THis is also the same woman that b4 my wedding told me I had to work till 5PM and I'm not allowed to leave early. I never even asked her if I could, but I just remember calling her at 4PM letting her know I took care of anything pending and I was all set. She said to stay till 5 knowing I had nothing else to do.
She does micro manage, which is another reason I'm leaving to add to the list
Anyway, just venting.
I know it's only a few more days and so excited to be home and take on my real full time job. Chat Icon

At my job, you can't take off any time and you wouldn't get paid for you FH after you gave notice.

Re: When Leaving a Job...

iw ork for a smaller company, and we don't have any specific rules, but if i had given notice, i would just finish up my two weeks and call it a day. however, if i had FH left over which I would not be getting paid for, I would schedule that day off before giving notice so I would still get paid that day.

I don't know that we have a specific policy, but I guarantee my job would not allow us to take the FH after already giving notice and we don't get paid for it either.

At my old job, I did give 2 weeks notice, but they asked me to stay a few days extra and I did even though I REALLY didn't want to.

If you're leaving anyway - I'd tell her you'd like to take the FH on Friday as a full day. It is your day to take. If she gives you a hard time, I'd perhaps take it up with Human Resources. I mean really, why is she giving you a hard time, you're leaving! Unless of course you want to use this woman as a reference in the future - in that case, I would try not to ruffle any feathers.

Good luck!

Thanks! She is just weird. Likes to micromanage.
I do want to leave on good terms, but no... I have no desire to go back into the telecom field ever. For now I want to be a SAHM and go get my Masters in Special Ed.
Already spoke with HR and they said I was allowed to use my FH as long as my manager is ok with it. She said she was ok with it, but now seems to be giving me a hard time anyway.
No biggie... 3 days left after today!!

You can use your vacation within your 2 weeks notice.

She's being spiteful. Also I'm not sure if you're salaried, exempt/non-exempt but 1/2 days are a no-no with the Department of Labor (you're supposed to be paid the full day even if you leave early).

to answer your question, I worked full days when I resigned up until the last day & I was told I could leave early. (noonish)

Then you stand your ground and tell her you want Friday as your floating holiday! Good luck with your new position as a SAHM - I'm jealous! Must feel so good to know you'll be away from your spiteful boss in just a few days!!!!!!
