Weddings are planned many months鈥搊r even years鈥搃nto the future, and that can clash with other aspects of the couple鈥檚 lives. When taking on a new job in the months leading up to such a major life event, it鈥檚 tricky to know when to tell your new employer that you鈥檒l need time off in the first months of your tenure. 鈥淢y advice is to wait until you鈥檝e received a formal job offer before discussing it,鈥� says Associate Professor Jean-Nicolas Reyt in The Globe and Mail鈥檚 Nine to Five column. 鈥淥nce the offer is on the table, that鈥檚 the right time to bring up your wedding. But offer your new employer flexibility by suggesting options, such as taking the time off unpaid or delaying your start date by six weeks to accommodate your plans.鈥� If the company doesn鈥檛 accommodate you, consider your alternatives. 鈥淚t might seem daunting, but it鈥檚 better to find a workplace that respects your life commitments. It鈥檚 crucial to work for a company that values your well-being.鈥�
