Highly agree - vacation time is extremely valuable to me as a Marine reservist since I often have to spend it for my two weeks of annual training, so if a prospective company asked me to do that, I'd thank them for their time, and part ways unless they were willing to forego that requirement in their decision making. I believe it's unreasonable to ask that time and money of people unless they were willing to compensate me for the time missed at my job.
- porpoisemonkey 13y agoAre you asking that they pay you both for working for them and also for missed time at your job? According to the post they pay you for working for them for a week.
- overgryphon 13y agoWhich is often a breach of your current employment contract. How do they handle that situation?
- porpoisemonkey 13y agoI don't know. It isn't a breach of my employment contract so I would not be a very good source on this matter. You could contact them directly and see how they resolve it (or if they even can).
- Bahamut 13y agoAnd that doesn't reimburse you for the forced vacation you have to spend. It also may be impossible depending on the contract, as it would be a breach of my current one. Even if it weren't the case, you're still giving up a significant amount in a form you cannot get back. Paid vacation is not easily come by, and the company is asking the people to work during that time? It is a process biased against those who do not have the luxury of taking a week off on a whim.
- porpoisemonkey 13y agoBy your response I think you inferred I had some follow up commentary prepared that I didn't (and don't) have. I really just want to know: What do you think would be reasonable compensation for the week of vacation spent?
