    Odd Method of Student Leave?

    I leave to move back to college in less than a week and I asked my manager what he does as far as student leave is concerned. Considering I will live an hour and a half away from work, there's no way I can come as often as i did in the summer. However, I told him I'd be free for a month for Christmas/winter sales, and I'm also out May 8th for summer.

    He told me that we'd be able to work that out; he said I'd be terminated with ability/potential to rehire.

    Now...what? At Big Yank, I had to sign paperwork saying I was on student leave. This is "temporary" termination?

    I just don't think I've heard of it being done that way before...

    That's what my company did. Something to do with you need to have a certain amount of hours in a period of time to stay on the payroll. I came back during a few vacations, and I had like 4 employee discount cards before I came back permanantly (one for each time I was rehired). My hire date on my employee profile shows my most recent rehire, but the company knows how much total time I've been on the payroll, so I don't lose any of my prize milestone either.

    This happens with every college student who plans to come back now and then, and I haven't heard of any problems regarding it. While I don't know how common this is among other companies, it isn't unheard of entirely.

      This is what my company does. Though I go to school about 20 miles form my store, so they let me work on weekends until they can find an opening in the store a few miles down the road from school.

        Ok, so it really isn't that uncommon. I just heard "termination" and freaked without hearing "intent to rehire".

          The word termination does sound very strange to me. At my company, you aren't terminated and then rehired, you QUIT and are then rehired.
          My webcomic is called Sidekick Girl. Val's job is kinda like retail, except instead of corporate's dumb policies, it's the Hero Agency, and the SC's are trying to take over the world.

            Termination can come from either side. It just means the term of employment was ended.

            And just to further put you at ease, it's how my first job handled that too. "You're gone for now, but we'll rehire you no problems."

              Yeah, it's normal.

              "Termination" is just a term, so don't worry about that.

              As long as "eligible for rehire" is in there somewhere, it's all good. I've got that on my record (for a big international company) because I went seasonal and didn't work enough within that time period. Actually, it happened twice at that job, but I just called my supervisor, and he put me back in the system.

              Just don't use that term on your resume, lol . I didn't reapply after the second time (and since I don't live there anymore, I probably won't), I just have it listed as that I as seasonal, and have never gotten any odd questions about it. They call for a reference, and they understand.
