f I have some one put in for vacation while I am interviewing them they probably won't be getting the job. You have to put your time in first.
if it's available to them, they should be able to use it

I get 6 weeks paid vacation starting at the new year every year. It does not carry over and they will not cash me out at the end of a year. Use it or lose it. I can use any of it at any date I want.
I'm planning on taking the entire month of July off for a vacation trip. Yes, this is a humble brag.

A lot of companies make you wait a year before earning vacation
Every place I've ever worked at has been this way. Not to mention the free OT hours I put in, plus weekend work and holiday work.
Do I think it's fair? Not a chance in hell. Do I do what I need to do as far as taking time off, you betcha.
The way I look at it is if I'm going to be working 10+ hour days, 7 days a week from April until October, you best believe there will be some serious frick off time during November-March.

The original discussion was concerning earning vacation days before a person can actually use them. New hires haven't proven themselves but a person that you have hired away from a competitor is in a different class altogether. It's really not that hard to understand. For that matter, do you ask for your pay up front before working for a week?

There's only bad bosses in the World. This statement says more about your managerial skill-set than it does about your new hires being green.

I give my hourly guys paid vacation after the 90 day probation period. My salary and commission guys don't have a set vacation allotment. Take what you need and get your job done. I let my hourly guys take off more than their paid time if they want, but it's unpaid and and I prefer a heads up so I can schedule around it.

I asked my boss of one of my first jobs about unpaid leave. He said that if there was ever a day where they managed without me to not even bother coming back.
I've never asked about or taken unpaid leave since.
What a shitty job

At first I thought it was a sarcasm, but now I'm sure this might be the dumbest post I've ever read here, and that's saying a lot.

Great employee, been here 10 years, but I had to decline as PTO is given based on business need
It's your responsibility as a manager to have backups in place, if I'm in the situation of the person you're writing about I'm starting to look for jobs elsewhere. But, I'm pretty marketable, I'm not sure how marketable your employee is.

Let's say you are hiring for a position. You have two equally qualified applicants. One states during the interview, that they have a vacation planned within the next few months. Who do you think is going to get the job?
Same scenario, but one is an obviously, 6 months pregnant woman.......
My point is, maybe you shouldn't be looking to change jobs, if you've got immediate plans.

Unless the job is very low or mindless, this is basically impossible in my experience. They might look equal on paper, but if neither stood out stronger than the other in the interview, I'd keep looking for one who can.

Apart from money, time off is the most important factor for employees.
With my first job I would have taken less pay for more time off. I hate going 6 months with out a day off

It would have to be really tight to for a day or two for a wedding to make a difference

Depends on the situation. I'm sure in certain situations an exception can be done, like if a person starts a new job and is getting married in 3 months.

You looking to get sued or what?
Also, they aren't equal and if you can't determine that, then you probably shouldn't be in the position to hire people.

I think he works in IS, possibly Healthcare IS. If so, I hope he isn't dealing with certified individuals, because they typically won't put up with that shite and are highly valuable.

Nope, but I do live in the real world.
Entry level jobs, often get equally qualified applicants.

If you are over the age of 25 and have worked at multiple places where they don't offer you time off over a year, then you are a fool, a sucker, and someone with no discernible skills. Their competition should offer these things, and anyone with half a brain will go to those companies every single time. This speaks very poorly for yourself as an employee that you can't negotiate time off.
