The end of the year is the period where employees most ask to enjoy their rest, especially those who are more “family”, have children and usually spend the holidays with relatives. However, the company is not always able to give the day off at the time chosen by the employee, and it is from there that the search for shift changes happens, but to what extent is this fair?

Check out how shift changes should work
According to article 136 of the CLT, the company defines the vacation dates. That is, the employer is not obliged to give the vacation according to what the employee wants, however, there may be a conversation and an agreement between the two parties. That is, even if you have children, there is no priority on who should be released.
An example is an employee who works for a company that installs custom products. After a few days in another state due to an external demand, he flew back home after work for three weeks straight while his colleagues took turns going home and visiting family.
As a reward, the company gave this worker a week off at Christmas. However, when they found out that he had that week off, they started asking him to switch with his colleagues, after all, “many have children and need to be with their family on December 24th”. He was bribed with food and other things, but he still refused.
Remembering that the exchange of activities in the work environment can only occur with the release of the superior and as agreed between the employees, so that it does not harm the company.
The worker cannot solve the situation of any employee. After all, he can't take the brunt of something that's completely fair to him and his mental health.
