Flexible arrangements & leave
Hello there,
Can someone please help me what I should do with my situation?
I am still on my probation period. One day my partner got sick and I have asked for a couple of hours late permission. I have emailed my manager saying I will be in around 11 AM and clearly said I do not want to take any leave for that day. And I actually reached office at 10.45AM itself.
Later that day I saw that my manager marked a leave for me from 8.30AM - 12 PM. (8.30 is starting time shows on our system but I normally start at 9 AM and most of the employees start at the same time). Anyways I have asked my manager why is that (through email) but he told me in person because I said I will be in at 12. I said, "No, I was in at 10.45". He then changed my leave from 08.30 - 11AM.
Does that normal procedure? I am really disappointed with my manager for the fact that he didn't give me the late permission instead just marked my absence as leave? I have been with many flexible employers before and I just had to work the required hours for the whole week and I could work in flexible hours. This really hurts me and I think I won't have a good connection with my manager anymore.
So if this is rude and not a proper way to deal with my lateness, what should I do? Should I talk with my HR people? or is this normal for an employee who is still on probation. Please advise.
Thanks and regards, Sam
