[QUOTE="V1K1NG0, post: 885420, member: 5214"] I was always taught that when I was to be promoted to always ask for the effective date of promotion in writing and get it signed and dated by the supervisor and I would fax it in to the HR department and ask them to add it to my file. CYA. Concerning the 2 weeks of vacation: I'd call HR and see if it is standard procedure for a person to be demoted for taking 2 weeks vacation. Make sure you get it in writing along with their name and the date you were given the information. CYA. You need to have your wife look at how long a person has to work there before they can even take vacation. Most places won't even let you take a vacation until you have been there 6 months to a year. If the manager said sure you can take off with leave without pay or something then definately check it out. They might be playing the "favor" card. If she has enough leave for 2 weeks vacation after that short amount of time then that is good. On the other hand, depending on when you all are planning vacation she might be hurting the store by not being there and that is the excuse they will use to demote her. Black Friday and all the Christmas Shopping that pops up. This is the time when retail is supposed to kickoff. I've been on both sides of this. I really hope it works out for you all but if it just turns bad then chalk it up to learning experience. If it comes down to not having a vacation vs being demoted (and find another job), you both have to be on the same page. Don't make a mistake like I did and get angry at her for not being able to go back. Doesn't help anything. Bottomline: If it's not in writing it does not exist. [/QUOTE]
