Yes. A lot of people I know have taken days off for long weekends, etc. As long as you make it into a habit, there's no reason employers should care about you taking off one day during the whole term.
I've taken days off for more trivial things - but every time I asked my manager, I had already worked an excess amount (in terms of hours, and work completed) than I was responsible for at that particular point in time. My manager(s) have had no problems with that.
Just ask for it. It is a legitimate reason. Depending on the company policy (& manager), they might not pay you for those days or they will ask you to work extended hours or they would not care and just give you a free pay day:) That is what happened to me in one of my companies.
You should be glad, its not an Indian wedding otherwise you would be asking for a week off !
Unless it's a sibling, no (even then eh). Weddings aren't that important.

ReplyDeleteIve taken off a week to go on a trip, just made up the time before/after. It was a lot of long days.
