Re: Employer not giving days off
Why wouldn't it be, unless you're requesting the leave under the Family & Medical Leave Act(FMLA),
under a provision of your contract or collective bargaining agreement which allows for such leave
(if there be such), or, perhaps, by virtue of an accepted pattern of practice in your school in the past which has allowed for such leave taking by employees on a more or less regular basis?
