I'm starting a new job in just over a month. I need to book a week of annual leave in 6 months time when I will have been in my new job for 5 months. So what would you do...
- Ask new manager now for the annual leave now before I start
- Wait until a few weeks before I start and when I drop in for a visit a couple of weeks before I start ask them then
- Wait until I've started the new job in just over a month (this option gives her the least amount of notice whilst still giving her about 4 and a half months notice)
I want to give her the most amount of notice as I'm asking for annual leave but I don't want her to think "this employee has only just started and she's already asking for time off" whilst I know I am entitled to annual leave obviously I want to make a good initial impression.
Advice please.
