Is Managment allowed to not accept eLRA annual requests?

[dunshine]

I put in a eLRA request just for a saturday 2 weeks ago and I never got back a slip for denial or approval so i just assumed it was approved due to the 3 day rule.

Today I got called and they were asking where I was lol. I let him know my confirmation number and he responded with

“Paper copies handed to a supervisor, signed received, are the only way we can accept future leave. Today is covered, but moving forward we need the slip signed by a supervisor to approve any leave.”

He was pretty nice about it but i’m just curious if it’s generally not an accepted way to request annual. I honestly preferred it because they never get my slips back to me and I always have a hard time with requesting time off.

not true. if we weren't allowed to use it, we wouldn't be able to access it.

more than likely, your stupe didn't check his/her email.

talk to your stew.

If required to help your manager do his job, ask for some of his pay. You did your part, explain to him that it IS his job to record on line leave requests. If he would like you to help him with it, he would have to pay you to do that "extra duty".

Because I love me some citations, here's the stand up talk that states supervisors are required to review eLRA and approve or deny in accordance with the procedures outlined in ELM and the national agreements:

and here's a link to the NRLCA statement on eLRA (which just says rurals can use eLRA for scheduled absences, and we have the right to a 3971 form as well): https://www.nrlca.org/News/1231
