Supervisor
OK, before you go, I want to ask if you'll be alright to do an extra shift for us next Tuesday?

Samina
Sorry, can you say that again?

Supervisor
Can you work next Tuesday? I want you to do an extra shift.

Samina
Sorry, I can't work on Tuesday. I have a hospital appointment.

Supervisor
Not to worry. I'll ask someone else.

Discuss these questions with your group:

  • Do you have to ask for time off? (Why?)
