Archived Taking Time Off?

[redandkhaki]

So i've never needed to take more than a couple days off from target since i started but now i'm looking at going to overseas for a couple of weeks later this year. The time i'm going is not a busy time at target (planned this way on purpose) so i was hoping that'd make it easier on them. I plan on going in to talk to my ETL on monday but I was wondering if there's a max amount of time that you can take off without taking an LOA? I'm trying to figure out if they're going to give me a hard time about going or if i'm stressing too much. They kind of know that i've been planning on going but i have a new etl and she doesn't.. anyways, what do you think the chances are of getting two- two 1/2 weeks off?

During college, I had to take two weeks off for surgery and recovery back in my hometown. I had to sign a new availability for ALL UNAVAILABLE for those two weeks attached a doctor's note.

But talk to your ETL and HR, they will figure it out.

If my store's anything like yours, it'll probably be fine, as long as there's coverage. Although, one time I took a week off when there really wasn't coverage (because they didn't want to train anyone else for instocks), and they still approved it.

I know a tl who got a month off to go to France.

This is misinformation, as an HOURLY TM, you are only allowed to be gone for 3 days before your absence is technically a Leave of Absence. It used to be 2 weeks before you'd be on a "leave" call the TBC's LOA department for clarification. Officially speaking you are supposed to be put out on a leave if you are going to be gone for more than 3 days.
