Is it okay to ask for 1-2 months leave just after joining a new company?
I accepted an offer and after background check me and recruiter is discussing on the start date. I am planning to take 1-2 month leaves from now, but I encountered an issue that not employee authorization will arrive in a few months and this could be a potential risk that the CBP officer on the point of entry could deny my entry at the time. So, in order to dodge any bad circumstances, I need your suggestion is to whether, it's okay to talk to HR or hiring manager directly about this issue and - ask for upto 2 month of leave after joining and I can join immediately. -would it be advisable to ask such thing? - going unpaid, is not an issue at all!, if they say yes, and write an NOC for my travel plans, it would be worry free travel? I know it's a weird situation, but it is what it is! Any suggestions would great :)
Unless it’s emergency, try not to do it.
Not an emergency, it's something I planned from last 2 years but every year gets halted due to MF employee authorization issue or the unwritten potential risks that just stays in conversation.
yea dont do it, you are de facto on probation for 3-6 months after joining any new company. why would they have you on the books, health insurance, etc without even really knowing you are pulling your weight? from their perspective its like a reverse employment scam. you could disappear and not show up again and theyd spend more time and money recruiting a replacement.
Oh, yes, that doesn't come to my mind. You are correct! It could happen. Make sense
I don’t agree with the advice above. Depending on your company and manager you can do this. If you are in one those companies that worry about employees happiness, then you should have a 1:1 with your manager and tell him about your plans. Explain to him/her why the leave is important for you, and the fact that you were planning on it since quite sometime. Also do tell that if he/she doesn’t agree and if it has a potential impact on your performance review, then you can nix your leave plans as performing well is you first priority. Based on you managers response then you can take a call.
Awesome, I was thinking on those lines too.
Yes you can
Don’t do it. You can always travel later
Yeah, but later when and how, no employer will give you a month or 2 leave for may reason let's say even after an year. Maximum leaves that you accure after 2 years of working is 20 working days and even if you wanna go paid leaves would anyone will say yes ? I doubt, what's your thought on it?
