Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind
↑

I am being told that it is Starbucks policy that you can’t take off more than 10 days in a row. I’ve looked everywhere in the time off policy. Is this true? And if so, where would I find this in the policy? (self.starbucksbaristas)

147×× here. I have taken 16 days off in a row for my wedding and no one said anything. The only time I have had to call to set up a leave for personal medical leave such as surgery for a broken ankle.
I have heard you need approval for more than two weeks, but have never seen an official policy. A girl I work with took personal leave and had to call to get that month approved.

Totally wrong. Have a partner who has a second job where she sometimes leaves for a month a couple times a year. Also 6 weeks for study abroad through ASU. There are also temporarily leave on absences so idk what whoever told you that is talking about.

I was actually told that by my store manager. I didn’t know if the amount is up to the store managers discretion but like I said I couldn’t find anything stated in the policy where you can only take X amount of days off in a row without having to take a leave.

Yeah I know I’ve seen six weeks before. AFAIK there’s nothing against policy about it. Sounds like they just might not want to do it and are blaming it on policy.

I explained to my manager that I was going to be gone for an internship for three months. He didn’t let me go I was just Mia for a few months. I live in a college town and most baristas are on school, for context

Talk to your DM. In July I took 2 weeks off for a euro trip and I just had to give my SM a ton of warning. I remember hearing about needing a DM approval for more than 14 days in a row, but I think it was in a weekly update so I'm not sure where it'd be in the official policy.
