Should I write a second reminder to the HR?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm attending a Dual Course of Study University, where a regular semester is compressed to 3 months and the other 3 months are occupied by working 40hr/month with a selected partner.

From href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/time">time to href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/time">time it happens that the students have to attend an exam during their working term. This is true in my case. Therefore, I already sent a formal request to get a day off for the exam (4hr + 1 hr commute each way), as this is specified in our examination regulations.

Unfortunately, the responsible manager has not yet replied. After 5 days I sent in a reminder, to which I also didn't receive a href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/response">response.

Should I send a 3rd request (2nd reminder) or should I wait longer?

As @Draken mentioned in the comments, the email could have been lost, forgotten or ignored (for example it could have accidentally made it's way into the person's spam / junk directory).

You could consider speaking to them in person, contacting them telephonically, or sending another email but CC-ing somebody else at the company who could also be responsive on the matter.

Something also worthwhile considering is having a physical print-out which requires signing if you need permission to have the day off.
