Hi girls,

I am looking for a job now and i will have my wedding in my hometown in 2012. I wonder how many days of leave I can take in my first year of employment... I need at least two weeks flying back and prepare for my wedding... headache... I never worked here before so I dunno if there is so-called wedding leave or not... What shall I do if I have paid the deposit for reserving a hotel for wedding but not entitled for leave under my prospective employer..? Does anyone face the similar situation with me?

Will appreciate any of your advice... Thanks...

if you have just joined the company, the number of annual leave days, MC, childcare leave, marriage leave etc will be por-rated. you have to ask your HR what your pro-rated leave is.

as what jessiemel has mentioned, usually we will be entitled to 3~5 days of marriage leave, but provided you have already fulfilled working for a year. if not, the leave days will be pro-rated.

Normally, a new employer will frown on new employees taking leave so soon. Depemds on also how understanding your employer is. Some may let you take a day's leave and have your wedding over the long weekend.

You can also consider starting work after your wedding. So it lessens your headache and gives you more time to focus your efforts on planning your wedding.

After you are confirmed, leave will be easier to take. Don't fret, everything will come up roses.

Invite your boss and colleagues. I think that way they won't mind your leave.
