A colleague is leaving the job at the end of the month and our vacation booking system said she had 16 vacation days left, so she booked those at the end of the month, her supervisor approved, she handed over all her tasks, returned the hardware and everything, and thought she was done working here.
On her first day off, the supervisor calls her to let her know that she can’t actually take that many vacation days. Because she quit in the first quarter of the year, she only gets a quarter of the vacation days for the year, which the vacation booking system did not account for and well, the supervisor had not noticed while approving either.
Like, it’s kind of just how the contract and laws and everything works. I don’t know, if the supervisor offered to convert it to unpaid leave, but that’s kind of the only real thing, they could’ve done here. But yeah, still just such a dumb situation after all…
