About this audiobook
You were promoted for doing the work well. Nobody mentioned that you would also be deciding who gets the holiday week, what to say when an employee announces a ten-day trip, and whether the person with the grey status light is actually working. Time Off Rules for Managers gives new and mid-level managers a clear, fair system for time off, remote hours, school pickups and flexible arrangements, with scripts you can say out loud and notes that protect you without turning you into a micromanager. It is different from a general first-90-days guide, a firing playbook or an employee-side rights book: the focus here is one problem, setting and applying consistent time-off and schedule rules for the people you manage. Inside, you'll learn: Bring your real situations, adapt the examples to your workplace, and lead a team that knows where it stands. General information only, not legal advice.
