We schedule the vacation requests when put in 6 weeks early. After that it is their responsibility to find/beg a qualified replacement. Also if an individual is taking off a company holiday he has to find a replacement himself. These positions are manned 24/7.

When I was working as a production lead in a millwork shop, I always got stuck doing the work for the time I would be off before I left.

I make my guys find their fill-ins. If they can't, I appoint the lucky stiff... Dan
a good manager will have plenty of back up plans.....

You guys run your staff that lean that you don't have someone that can fill in per shift? Either that, or lack of planning. I want our team to take vacation and finally got it to where we don't pay out anymore than 3 days so people actually use it. The last thing I want people doing on THEIR time off is thinking about what we are doing at work.
I will be the first to tip my hat off to you for your hard work and dedication.companies love this type of dedication but wether you realize it or not your company owns you.
keep working,your neighbor thanks you
Depends on a variety of issues.
I would cover if there was a minimum manning retirement, if we expected a high volume of work needing more employees, weekend/Holidays I would always staff a little heavier.

No, you shouldn't have to do the managers job of scheduling his staff. Your time off is earned the previous year, it's part of your pay.
In the position I hold now as long as there isn't any scheduled work with other departments we can take off as we please with supervisor approval. Our supervisor knows that time off given is ours and is very supportive.
When I was still a police officer before I had to medically retire it was kind of an unwritten policy to find someone to help cover at least some of your shift. More than anything that helped your other guys and most of us would help cover.
Guess I've been lucky I've never worked where finding coverage was mandatory.
or after a sunny day, or...
I am fine with that. The company has provided me advancement, the opportunity for a good life and good living. What is wrong with that? Too many people today expect instant advancement without having earned it. So they jump from one employer to another and never develop the tenure and importance to their employer to receive advancement. They spend their entire career doing the same level job for the same level pay because they change employers too often and display no dedication.

Nothing, really. Except the emails and calls on your day off means you never really have a day off...and may indicate you need to have/develop someone who can fill in for you when you are not there so you can enjoy your days off without interruption. Personally, that would drive me nuts....
Not for nothing, but you should be staffed so you could lose 10 percent of your force and still operate. This allows for scheduled time off.

Scheduling is managements job, don't do your work and theirs too.
Give me a break! The day I have to bring a doctor's note in because I took a day off is the day I tell you to stick your job in your ass
We are not children here we're fully grown adults with jobs don't treat me like a kid
Agreed! While a high performance team can job-share and fill gaps easily, it's managements job to own schedules to meet goals. They should also know employee training/competency levels to determine where backfill is needed, and who to shuffle and fill voids.
That is by my choice. It is not required of me. I take a lot of mid week days off to fish. In return, I don't abandon what is my responsibility to see that things run smoothly in my absence.
