    Sum of u ppl need 2 get a grip. S'not an oxbridge app is it?

    Such petty prejudices are all too rife on here. Wonder which of these people best describes some of you

    Not everyone has a smartphone and, certainly, my smartphone can't recognise my nails tapping in longhand away so text speak it is for speed.

    Oh and btw, cool people don't say 'uncool' - it's 'NOT cool', probably and unfortunately followed by 'dude'.
    Smartphone? Me neither. I'm more uncool than Long John Silver. He had an Ipatch, but I don't possess a single Apple product.
    You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'

    I asked some of my friends who is in working then they said that she has not any rules to take off for booked days. But you tell them in advance that your kid would be not available on the following days.

    In English please, even text speak is easier to understand.

    The employer isn't asking her to cancel her holiday, they are simply saying she isn't allowed to book those days of.

    The employer as far as I can tell was not aware of the employee wanting these days of before hiring her which is the employees fault.

    I wasn't talking about the OP's daughter, I was talking about myself as a tool to highlight my previous statement about friends, family and holidays.

    I began talking about the OP's daughter's situation in the next paragraph

    It's a tuppenny ha'penny job in a hairdressers. Take your daughter on the holiday. She can get another job but she won't have the memories if she misses the holiday.

    Why would it b strange? She has only just turned 17, home alone for a few hours or a day fine but 2 weeks is a bit much, I understand u need permission from employers for holidays, but I thought they had to honour a pre booked holiday


    They don't have to honour pre booked holidays. If not asked at interview, I'd bring it up when an offer had been made but before it has been accepted. Then it can be agreed or negotiated as part of the acceptance of the offer, or either party can decide to back out.

    OP, for future reference, if she is still working there next year or for many years or anywhere for that matter, she must ensure she books time off before she books any holidays as they can be refused.

    Has the unemployment rate (especially for NEETs) passed you by?
