I requested a specific Sunday off for an event I was attending. On my eSchedule it said AND showed that it was approved for me to be off. So I checked the current schedule I was working, on my last day of that week and in fact it showed I was off. I work graveyard by the way. I came into the store on that specific day, couple days later, for grocery shopping and one of my coworkers said I was scheduled. Sure enough I was scheduled even though that day was approved for me being off. Of course I missed the shift but what I'm wondering is can there be disciplinary actions taken towards me for this? It doesn't seem like there should be right?
They could try. Technically the printed wall schedule is the final word but you can show in eschedule that it says "time off approved" and no one communicated to you differently.
If you made a copy of the scheduled both showing you had the time approved, that WILL trump ANY write up and disciplinary action. Especially if they changed it last minute and without asking you. If you didn't make a copy, next time sons onto cover your end.
Paper schedule is the official copy. If they changed on the paper copy before your contract's cutoff time, yes they could technically discipline you, regardless of what eschedule said.
