What kind of pharmacy is run by a bunch of hs kids? 17 and you are a manager for a pharmacy??

I just manage the clerks, just heir schedules, and I take care of all the night cash drawers, just sometimes work behind the counter with the pharmacist counting pills, we are a store and a pharmacy. The girl that had this job before me quit, she was a jr. in college and said it got to be too much, so they kind of threw this at me and I thought "cool more money". Instead it?s a headache.
 
What does her contract say about how many days she can take off?

Her contract of employment should include details of how many days can be taken, and whether allowances can be carried over from one year to the next.

If the contract doesn't mention important aspects such as that, you've got bigger problems than someone taking a lot of days off.

There is no contract that Im aware of, I didnt have to sign one when I started.

WTFBBQ, most companies limit the amount of paid time off you can accrue.

If I were in that spot, and set up with Direct Deposit, I'd be taking a 1/3rd year vacation and knocking off a HUGE portion of the "list of places to travel to"
Sounds like a government job.

<--misses his Fed job. 🙁

Even though no written document exists, there will still be an implied contract. In many areas there are certain requirements for rights and obligations for the employee/employer, and there'll be laws that set out exactly what those are.

You need to find out what these laws say.

Ok, so this girl at my work, who everyone unanimously hates working with, has taken off 27 days this year, is it too much to ask that she be fired?

I want to fire her, but my boss says I cant, because her dad is wealthy and popular(just a guess), but he also wont let me hire anyone else, so tonight I got my balls busted from so many customers because of wait time, we were two employees short because the other guy I sent home after he threw up on our counter. I work at a pharmacy btw.

Am I pushing it since Vie only been her boss for 4 months? I feel that once I was given eh promotion it should be up to me, as long as I work her hours until I replace her, but I?m only 17 so I have to get an ok from uppers before firing someone.

Saturday Edit
!

I worked from 6-1 today and she was supposed to work from 8-3, she didn?t show up, but she did get another lady to come in for her, however the lady that came in to work for her was not trained to do the jobs that needed to be done, so a sent her replacement home and wrote her up for being absent without contacting us.

I also cut her pay from $7.50 and hour to minimum wage, and I?m am working on cutting her down to 5 hrs a week, then I will hire another employee, I don?t care what Chris(My manager) says, payroll going out will be the same. I'm also documenting any and everything she does wrong.

Anything else I should do?
Does your company have an EMPLOYEES manual? Or anything that describes responsibilities , acts that will get you fired , etc?
Consult it and document each transgression.
Schedule a performance review. She will need to acknowledge her acts, by signing that review.
Then, when it continues, after giving her a written warning and an account of what continued non performance will get her, she can be terminated without fear of her being able to get Unemployment Insurance. That may be her goal anyway.... Get fired, the collect "free money."

Give her one day a week. She needs to give you her schedule so she can't claim you knew of her prior obligations.
When she fails to show, terminate.
Also. she needs to be put on notice that scheduling people is YOUR job, not her's.

PS consult local emplyment regulations for legality BEFORE doing ANYTHING

Ok, thanks for your suggestion, where do I need to go to get a copy of these laws? Our only employees manula is lame, it just gives a brief description of what the job entails, dress codes, and a paragraph that says you will strive be be the best employee, yadayadayeee.... Then theres a printed out signature of the owner's.

So could her dad have made her sign a contract that Im not aware of? Could thaat be why I was told not to fire her? Her dad is a business man so maybe he took precaustions or somthing, would that be uncommon?
 
It sounds like she works part time not full time. Are you saying she has missed 27 days of work she was scheduled for or that she has not worked for a total of 27 days this year so far? If she has missed 27 days of scheduled work you should let your boss handle it, if she is part time and she only works a few hours a week and you are ragging on her then you have issues. 😛
