I asked for all of them to be 'off with no pay' and all were approved.
i look at my paycheck today...
It says I've used a personal holiday...
Now, first thing I'm thinking is that I screwed up somewhere and accidentally put in for payed holiday or personal day... nope!
All are approved as ' off with no pay'...
So now, in losing a personal day (which I have them all set up for specific dates and times) and also I'm now worried that this could happen at any time.
That they can just put in for a personal without your permission...
Am I crazy? Has this ever happened to anyone before?
Jeez of all the things to complain about. You probably don't work often or aren't full time if you can request SIX DAYS off in a single week. That is a vacation.
You should speak with the person that does payroll at your store. Ask that person why he/she put it in the system for you to be paid for a personal holiday. It would be a good idea to bring a printout of your schedule or a capture a photo of your schedule with your phone and show the payroll person that all the days you requested off were no pay days off. I'm not one-hundred percent sure, but Kroger may be able to essentially "take back" the personal holiday pay on your next check, but you need to bring this to the payroll person's attention ASAP, as well as perhaps the co-manager that is responsible for HR at your store.
Worst case scenario is the money that you were paid now, set it aside for the week that you originally intended to use one of your paid days off for.
Not full time but I work enough over I should be. And I do complain because I had them set up for specific dates.
The six days in a row I'd asked about months before hand. And they wouldn't let me use vacation because it was split between two different weeks so I was 'advised' to ask for off with no pay...
Yeah, I'm thinking in the end I'll probably just have to eat the day.
its not so much that I'm down a personal day. It's that they used it without even asking which makes me worried about what's the point in having them and planning stuff out if they're just gonna use them for you when they decide...
Id just never heard of such a thing. Was curious if anyone else had ever had that kind of issue.
I don't know about all contracts, but I do know that the one I have says "If you are going to take 3 days or more off work it needs to be either have MLA (Medical Leave of Absence) or personal/vacation time. That may be why they gave you the personal time pay. I would ask your scheduler or HR and see what they have to say.

She says we don't have that rule where if you ask a certain number of days off you have to use vacation or a personal...
It ended up being an accident.
They could have fixed it, but it seemed like too much trouble so I just opted to forget the whole thing but it was an honest mistake ( I believe the personal was meant for someone else/someone else didn't get to use theirs)
