It may be painful to realise, but the way that this gets resolved may be a reflection of how your boss sees you within the team.
How do you think you fit in, does your boss generally value you and your work?
Certainly the resolution would impact my likelyhood of staying around.How do you think you fit in, does your boss generally value you and your work?
It is very simple... both communications where done by email... so they both have DATE AND TIME SENT.
The fact that your email may have been burried and unread in your over worked Managers inbox, or worse read and ignored would not excuse them from loosing a Work Place Discrimination Tribunal if it ever got that far.
So, as long as you have the days in your leave allocation, Management would be duty bound to honour the earliest email.
That of course would only apply if there are no work place agreements to the contrary. As a Union Rep for a company that works 24 hours a day, I have agreements in place that prohibits the early shift from always getting the first pick of leave, when future dates fall into the rolling year leave calander.
My advice ...Send your Manager an email ASAP informing Him/Her of their error and your intensions on taking the the leave (Emails can"t be refuted) Then go to your Manager with copies of both emails and in a polite manner inform Him/Her that you followed the work place leave agreement (if there is one) and as the leave dates where available you now have Family Commitments on the dates in question. Good-Luck..
