When do you tell your NEW employer you need time off for the wedding??

If you get an second interview, I would bring it up and just be honest. Most employers would be happy for you and understanding.

I would definitely wait until it has been officially officially offered to you, like after your first day where there's documentation that you're working there.

I just had this with a new Nannying job I got, but it naturally got brought up since their oldest was saying she wanted "a pretty princess ring" just like mine. It just naturally came up and they said they could definitely work that out for me.... but I'm figuring you're likely not in a private household, so it may be different.

I might bring it up in the interview, that you are getting married soon, and maybe they will ask about it. If not, I would definitely do it as soon as you start working so that you won't have to stress about it. It always makes me nervous when I know that I have to talk to my boss but it usually is never as bad as I think.

I would say, it's not an issue until you get your official paperwork...

Do NOT bring it up in the interview.

Once you get the offer (not necessarily official paperwork, a verbal offer works too) you can open the door for negotiations. Employers in most fields expect you to negotiate. It's perfectly reasonable to say "I'm getting married in a few months and my previous employer has okayed X days paid vacation for me to use. Can you match that?".

Not during the interview. Not until you actually have the job.

AFTER you get the job, as soon as possible. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BRING IT UP IN THE INTERVIEW!!! Don't mention it until you have signed all your paperwork. Otherwise, it seems presumptuous and might unfairly discount you for the job.

I actually just went through this same situation. My 90 days ended the middle of last month so I said something to my boss the beginning of this yr. She was so excited for me!

DO NOT bring it up during the interview. Once you have the job let them know as soon as you can.

In the interview, I would ask them about policies regarding vacation - as in, once you're employed, is there a waiting time before you can take time off.

DO NOT MENTION SQUAT UNTIL YOU ARE HIRED AND ARE ON PAPER AS BEING EMPLOYED. After this happens, then you bring it up - but you must be prepared for them to SAY NO. Yes, just let that sink in for a minute. They might say no.

I am in this predicament now with my new employer. We were not allowed to put in for any time off in the first 90 days. My 90 days is up tomorrow. I will have to go to my new group leader and put in for UNPAID time off and I am not even sure they will give me the time or the days I need. If they won't, my plan is to play it off like it is no big deal then quit the day before the wedding. The wedding total cost is almost the same as my yearly pay so I am not worried at all. However if this is truly your dream job like you say, they might not give you the time off.

Honestly, I told them during the interview. I didn't make it a big deal...it was just a "Hey, this is happening" kind of thing. I went through 6 interviews for this job...it was bound to come up. If you go about it as a "Hey, I'm getting married and it's more important to me than anything in the world" kind of way, it might be off putting to them. I don't know about your company, but it wasn't a big deal to mine. In fact, it actually works out that they need me in FL the same week of my wedding anyway, so my plane ticket is now covered! We weren't planning on a honeymoon anyway either, so that helped my case. Do what you feel is right. I didn't want to tell them in the interview, but my wedding is less than 3 months away and right in the middle of our busiest time of year...they needed to know.

I tried to see it from their perspective...If I hired someone, thought they were great, and then that person lays it on me that they are getting married in a couple months and will have to be gone for a week during the busiest part of the year...I would have shit a brick and put that person on my shit list. I'm under and 90 probationary period...not a good time to tell them.

I would bring it up when they make an offer, while you are negotiating. If you wait until after you start they may say no, citing that their policy is otherwise. If you bring it up during the counteroffer you have a little bit more room for negotiating as you haven't signed a contract agreeing to a different policy yet.

I started a new job the week before I had an out of the country trip planned, but I did not mention it until I was hired. It worked out fine for me. I plan to do the same thing once I start my new job as well.

I think that there should be no drama bringing it up in the interview. If your future employer can't handle it then you probably don't want to work for them. I would rather both parties be open and honest. Plus a good interviewer will ask you at the end if you have any questions or concerns. That's when you bring it up.

I am part of a 3 person interview and hiring team where I work. I am honestly telling you that if you mentioned this to us (unless you were the most amazing, stand-out person we interviewed) we would all be concerned about your productivity leading up to your wedding date, and the fact you might need time off perhaps during a busy summer month to take your Honeymoon. That might very well cost you the job.

ASKING about the time-off policies would not concern me at all.

......sometimes employers even ask if you have any planned vacations within the next year or something. Best thing is to just be honest! If you say no, and then later try to get the time off, they will not like you very much.

If telling them you're getting married and need time off causes you to not get the job, then you probably don't want to work for that employer anyway.

Praying FH's employer doesn't give him crap about taking time off in March...he just started a job...

I would be upfront about it but possibly not until a second interview or if they bring it up during the first interview. A lot of companies don't let you take personal time off without it being paid time off. Also some companies have busy seasons that they don't want anyone gone.

I am an HR professional, and have been for the last 5 years. I've been managing departments for two of those years. Bring it up in the interview. We are not scary people. We do not discriminate on when you take vacation, and are not allowed to by law. I typically get peeved when people give me their laundry list of vacations and days off on their first day. If the employer doesn't hire you because you were upfront about needing 5 or so days off for your honeymoon, then you REALLY do not want to work for them. Employers offer PTO/vacation pay for a reason= for employees to take time off. If people don't, the employer loses money.

Be clear that you're getting married, and will need x number of days off for the honeymoon. See what the probationary period is (typically 90 days). If you get offered the job this month, you'll be in the clear, or just ending your probationary period. Good luck!

In your situation, I would at least mention that you're getting married at your interview. If they ask if you have planned vacation, definitely mention when your wedding is and days that you need off. You already have a job, and if they don't hire you because of it, you still have a job. If you're hired and then bring it up and it's a problem, a) they can fire you if it's a probationary period and b) it's a bad first impression.
