If you're brand new to the company and you're just a recent college graduate, how long should you wait before deciding to take any type of time off from work? just a day or two for vacation purposes.. i just figured it might rub off the wrong way to someone who may have been working there for a while to see a young kid taking time off relatively fresh into the job.. taking into account of course whether the office is busy or not.. let's just say the workload is normal..
This is something you should agree on before you start at the company. If you ask me, wait 3-4 months at least before you ask for a day off. You are correct to be wary. I can tell you of instances where new employees basically guaranteed themselves a slide out the door because they got too comfortable (maybe a bad choice of words) too early. You only have one chance to make early impressions so be cautious at first. After you've worked at a place a a few months, you get an idea of what's OK.
I started this job last January, and I told them before I started that I would be going out of town in June, so I got one day off and they took it off my sick pay. I say wait at least 6 months.
maybe most do, but my company let's you accrue about 1 day per month in your first 5 years of service.. they let you buy vacation time of 40 hours though, so i was planning on doing that maybe, but now it seems like i should wait a bit longer before taking any time off...
totally depends on your type of work, man. With mine, I could tell they'd be cool as long as I got my stuff done and got my hours in. I took a week off about 2 months in.. and they were fine with it. (I didn't have much to do at the time)
brand new out of college...six months. I didn't even think you got vacation as a noob until you passed six months. I guess it's different at different places and depending on the job. your best bet is to take a sick day.
most places i have seen do not give you sick/paid days until 3 months into your employement. for me i was accruing time but could not use it until 3 months. i have only taken one full day off, last week, and one 1/2 day off and i have been here about 9 months now.
