This co-worker of mine is not new to the job and keeps calling home whenever I’m on vacation requesting to solve problems. She does not ask questions when I’m in the office. If I don’t answer her when on vacation, she would complain to my boss saying that I don’t help her. My boss supports her. I need to protect myself and hence need to know if there is any HR policy which says that you are not obliged for teamwork when on vacation. Also, I do know that I need not pick up the phone when she calls.

What happens to vacation time when you are switched to salary after working at a company for 3 years?

Ashley Fabulous asked:


I live in Alberta, and I have been working at my job for 3 and a half years, and for that time I have been an hourly pay employee. I just took a vacation and got paid vacation pay, and then I was informed they were switching me to salary. I got a call from my accountant telling me that I can’t have a vacation, until September 27th, 2008 (one year from now, so a whole year without a vacation) because I have to be on salary for a year before I earn it. Is this right? Even though I’ve been there, in the same position for 3 years?
After reading a reply, I figured I would add that the last vacation I took was 5 days, and the only vacation I took this year when we are allowed 2 weeks.
