I'm the TL for Starbucks at my location, My ETL-HL made a joke recently that if TM's aren't allowed two weeks off, She herself and myself wouldn't be able to take 2 weeks off. I'm planning a 50-day trip to backpack through Europe; I've read in a few places that a LOA is best practice. If I have to quit my position, I will quit my position but I would love to avoid it if at all possible. It won't be until February-March of 2014; so I have time to get things in order. My position doesn't differ much from a SB-TM position, I would just have one of my Advanced-Store-Trained TMs take over the ordering while I'm gone, and inform my District Manager. I could prepare the schedules in advance and allow my ETL-HL to make changes according to the hours given.
Is it possible for a TL to take an LOA? Like I already said, I'm willing to leave if I have to; but I have an apartment and other bills to worry about; I don't want to come back from a fantastic trip just to find myself in a Shipwreck of a mess at home.
Any advice?
Also, just a P.S. My pay stub says the number 20 for vacation hours, I was informed this numbers is in days and not hours. Does that mean full 8 hour days x 20? :wacko:
Edit: The trip will be for 36 days which is equivalent to 5 weeks.
