Some non-managerial staff of DND are dissatisfied with annual vacation leave entitlement and they may thus request from Management an increase in vacation leave entitlement from 11 standard working days (Monday to Friday) to 15 working days on the grounds of health and the fact that SAA -- a new company similar to DND-- is offering its staff 16 straight days (Sunday and Saturday inclusive) vacation. Some members of staff within DND have complained to an unofficial staff spokesman – Mr. Mark Winder. Mr. Winder has informed his Supervisor, the Accounts Manager and the Human Resource Manager, of staff’s dissatisfaction and he hinted that some members of staff might leave DND or occasionally call-in sick if they are not granted additional vacation leave. As the Human Resource Manager at DND you are aware of some of the undertones, displeasure and dissatisfaction of some of the workers within the company.

Create a presentation to the board and give 5 detailed reasons as the Human Resource Manager to leave the vacation leave entitlement AS IS as opposed to increasing it or decreasing it to 10 days.

The company has  limited funds and intends to expand operations within the next year. Also 2 employees former employees now work for SAA leaving the staff count at 120.
