作为雇主，您面临着杂耍员工度假请求的挑战。在确保您的业务有足够的覆盖范围的同时，很难找到灵活的完美平衡。为了使事情保持公平，请学习管理度假请求的来源和外出。
Managing vacation requests
为了公平管理员工的假期请求，您必须制定一个有组织的计划。否则，不公平的程序可能会为您的企业的员工保留而毁灭厄运。使用下面的五个提示来有效管理假期请求。
1. Create a procedure and set deadlines
如前所述，如果您想公平管理请求，则需要为您的员工创建一个休假请求程序。
在您的程序中，指示员工必须提前多远。许多雇主要求特定的时间，例如两周。
其他雇主可能更喜欢每年计划假期，并要求所有雇员在一月份提交全年的请求。
确保员工在特定日期之前提交请求有助于您计划员工短缺。您可以预料到谁将离开工作场所，并计划您需要多少覆盖范围。
Setting deadlines also gives you a little wiggle room to resolve any types of time-off conflicts (e.g., too many employees asking for the same dates off).
包括员工需要向谁提交其请求的人（例如，经理，主管等）。这样，员工知道何时到期请求以及向谁提交要求。
Indicate what will occur if an employee misses the deadline to request time off. Will their request still be considered? Will other employees receive priority over their request?
2. Communicate your policy
从一开始，您应该传达您的假期和time off policy与您的员工一起。
As soon as youhire an employee, let them know about your policy and procedure for requesting time off. If employees don’t know your policies, they may be apprehensive about asking for or taking vacation time. Or, employees might assume they can take time off whenever because they are unaware of your vacation policy.
把你的政策和程序在您的业务s员工手册。在工作的第一天，向每个员工提供手册的副本。您可能还会考虑让您的员工签署手册的副本，以确认他们阅读和理解您的政策。
3. Prioritize requests
As an employer, you have to decide how you plan to prioritize multiple requests. At some point, you will likely have more than one employee request the same vacation day(s). These requests might not always be during an ideal time for your business (e.g., busy season or holidays). So, how do you determine who gets the vacation time off?
Two common methods employers use to prioritize vacation requests include:
- First-come, first-served basis
- 资历
When you prioritize requests on a first-come, first-served basis, the employee who submits their request first is the one who receives the time off.
当您有多个同样有效且相互矛盾的请求时，您可以使用资历来确定谁可以休息。
Be wary if you plan to only use the seniority method. Newer employees might feel discouraged about requesting vacation time because they have not been there as long as other employees.
您还可以使用两种方法的混合物来优先考虑员工度假请求。所有假期请求都尽可能灵活conflict in the workplaceand to keep the process fair.
4. Plan ahead for busy and slow seasons
每个企业都有高峰季节，他们无力同时有很多员工。例如，由于节假日，零售业的企业通常在11月和12月的情况下更加庞大。
为了避免在忙碌的季节期间，假期对您的小企业造成严重破坏，请提前计划。
通过查看前几年的销售和数据，可以预见您在忙碌的季节中需要多少员工。然后，确定您将接受多少个员工的假期请求（如果有）。
You might even decide to block out certain weeks to have all hands on deck. If you have specific weeks where employees are not allowed to take vacation time, inform your employees of the blocked weeks at the beginning of the year.
鼓励员工在较慢的季节中度假。并且，考虑在繁忙期间提供激励措施。
您可能会为在假期，周末或其他高峰时间工作的员工提供一些激励措施包括bonus payor additional time off during slower seasons.
5. Track past requests
下一个提示似乎是单调的，但它可以帮助您更好地管理未来的度假请求。
Keep track of past requests, including when employees make requests, reasons for requesting vacation time, and whether or not you approved the request.
Tracking previous requests and vacation time off can help you spot problems and patterns. And, looking at past requests can give you an idea of:
- Which employees request the most time off
- 哪些员工很少要求休假时间
- How far in advance employees request vacation time
- 要求休息时间的最受欢迎的日期和几个月
- The reasons employees ask for vacation time
考虑创建电子表格或保留列出上述信息的文档。跟踪请求可以帮助您的过程和方法尽可能公平。
在您的度假请求政策中包括什么
Now that you have learned about managing employee time off requests, here’s an overview of what kind of information you might outline in your vacation request policy:
- 要求休假的截止日期
- Who to submit a vacation request to
- How you prioritize requests (e.g., first-come, first-served vs. seniority)
- Policies for vacations during busy seasons
- 员工收到多少休假时间的细分（例如，入门级职位获得了两周的付费假期）
