Hi Angela,

I hope your discussion with the client went well yesterday. We missed you at the managers' meeting. To read a summary of everything we covered, please check the notes attached to this e-mail. Otherwise, the main thing you should know concerns work schedules around the upcoming holidays.

Mr. Baker wants a notice posted for employees to remind them of their responsibilities in this regard. Too many people were absent from work last year during this period, and he would like to make sure this doesn't happen again. He specifically mentioned planning holiday leave in advance, so that departmental supervisors can reassign work hours as needed. The final schedule will be posted on the company Intranet by November 25. This is one day before the start of our busy season, which generally lasts from November 26 to January 4. Mr. Baker added that no late requests for holiday leave will be approved, except in cases of medical or personal emergencies. The notice should be up by the end of this month

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Mason

Notice to All Employees

In preparation for the holiday shopping season, we would like to remind you to take some time to review the work schedule posted on the company Intranet. Aside from checking to make sure that you have been assigned the correct number of hours, please verify that your days off are noted on the schedule.

Please submit requests for holiday leave no later than October 30. Any requests for time off made from that date until November 25 will be approved only at the discretion of each department's supervisor who must balance employee demands with the need to have the store fully staffed.

These requests will be responded to before the final schedule is posted. Requests for holiday leave sent from November 26 to January 4 will not be granted to anyone, management included, except in the case of a personal or medical emergency. As always, documentation proving that you are eligible for an emergency leave of absence will be required in such situations.

If you have any further questions, please consult your respective departmental supervisors. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
