Need Vacation Time and Boss Says No!!!
Hi i have been working at my current job for over a year now. I am entitled to 3 weeks vacation time. I scheduled time in April but we got very short staffed and my boss made me work during my time that was aready approved. Now I need a week off in july. I open the building where i work and there is only one more person with the alarm, i am starting shool in Spetember and really want this time off. they don't want to give it to me. What are my rights. Can i just call in sick or something or can they fire me. Can i write up a request for the days off and just not go. i don't want to be fired. But i am going on this trip (CUBA) no matter what. What should i do. Btw what resort do you reccomend in varadero???

Labour laws vary depending on what country and state/province you live in. I'm taking a stab at it and guessing you're Canadian, based on your travel destination.
In Ontario, the law states that you must either receive 4% in vacation pay OR get a minimum of 2 weeks off in a 12 month period. If you have given reasonable notice and have not taken your vacation this year, then they don't have a legal leg to stand on if they fire you.

It depends on your contract, if it says that you can be fired without proper cause then they are entitled to fire you for anything. You could miss one day or where the wrong outfit and legally they have a right to fire you. Check the contract you signed, if you still have it, and see what it says. If it doesn't say anything then you are free to call off.

Wait a second, how in the world are you going to Cuba? There is virtually no way that you can go to Cuba if you live in the US, unless you go illegally. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
