I been working at my job at a grocery store for almost 7 months now. I work part time 3 days a week sometimes. My friend wants me to find out when I can take a vacation so we can go away. The thing is I don't know how to talk to the manager about it.
Since you are not a full time employee I doubt that sick days or vacation accrue to you. You may ask to take time off without pay but don't be surprised if you come back and they don't give you any hours. If there is an employee handbook it should explain how many hours per week you must be working to be considered eligible for paid leave of any kind. Generally speaking that would be at least half time or 20 hours per week. Grocery stores are notorious for never giving any body enough hours to get any benefits.
