Hi @Jonathanjones93, CONGRATS on your upcoming wedding and new role!!! 

 

I asked my recruiter about vacation because I have a trip to Disney World scheduled. She advised me that it would be something to ask your leader but she did mention that there are shift swaps that could be available. I would imagine you will be able to take some type of leave/swapping you can utilize. You should have a couple of days of leave that you will be able to use too. 

 

Congrats again Jonathan and to your bride! May you forever be blessed 🙂

Ok great cause I put 50 thousand down for our wedding and there’s no refunds so I kind of have to use it and thanks

 I would make sure on the very first day of training you advise your supervisor and even talk to the station manager about your time off needed. Make sure it's noted somewhere and remind them as the time gets closer. My trainer was a great person to ask for advice and who to talk to if I needed anything. Congrats on your special day and Welcome to the SWA family!
