How do you handle situations where employees request leave or time off beyond what is outlined in the organization's policies?

When employees request leave or time off beyond what is outlined in the organization's policies, I approach the situation with flexibility and empathy:

• I engage in a one-on-one discussion with the employee to understand the reasons for their request and the impact on their work.

• I review the organization's policies to assess the feasibility of accommodating the request within the framework of the policies.

• If the request aligns with the employee's needs and the organization's operational requirements, I work with the employee to establish a plan for the leave, ensuring minimal disruption to the team.

• If the request falls outside the policies, I communicate the organization's limitations and explore alternative solutions, such as unpaid leave or flexible scheduling.
