- Always check with your manager to confirm that the time you want off or to work from home will not cause any gaps or issues. There may be instances where your manager needs you but has not made you aware yet.
- Please try to give as much advance notice as possible when you are not going to be in the office. When you do things last minute there could be people who were counting on you being available that will now be delayed, it can negatively impact your team. For example,
- Karen has a critical question for Bob on Thursday but sees that Bob is busy most of the day.
- Karen thinks – I’ll just catch him tomorrow but then Bob takes unexpected PTO.
- Make sure your team knows you will be out right after you talk with your manager. They should always be aware of when you will be absent.
- Make sure your work will be covered. If you have been working on a project and will be out for an extended amount of time, make sure you give an overview to someone else on the team so they can be available to help out. Or, you can make yourself available if there are questions while you are out.
