Since your vacations are coming
up soon, it might be a good idea to ask the old boss for a
couple of days off. Hopefully, he/she will be gracious enough
to you a 有給休暇 (yuu kyuu kyuu ka)/paid holiday). If are unsuccessful,
your boss might make you work extra and then take a 代休日 (daikyuubi/substitute
holiday).
Here is a couple of ways to ask for some time off:
Ａ：あの、ちょっとすみません、今度の日・月・火・水・木・金・土曜日におやすみをいただきたいんですが。
Ano, chotto sumimasen, kondo no nichi/getsu/ka/sui/moku/kin/do
youbi ni oyasumi o itadakitaindesuga.
Um, excuse me, I would like to take a day off next sun/mon/tue/wed/thu/fri/sat.
Ｂ：そうか、仕事の方は大丈夫か？
Souka, shigoto no hou wa daijohbu ka?
I see, how about your work? (Is everything ok with your work
load?)
Ａ：ちょっとお聞きしたいんですが、年末までの休暇はまだ使ってないんですが、できれば使いたいんですけど。どうすればいいんですか？
Chotto okikishitain desuga, nenmatsu made no kyuuka wa mada
tsukattenain desuga, dekireba tsukaitain desukedo. Dou sureba
iin desuka?
I would like to ask... Actually, I haven't used all my paid
holidays (that are good until the end of the year), and would
like to use them if possible.What should I do?
Ａ：先週の日・月・火・水・木・金・土曜日に出勤したんですけど。できれば今度の日・月・火・水・木・金・土曜日に代休日をいただきたいんです。
Senshu no nichi/getsu/ka/sui/moku/kin/do youbi ni shukkin
shitan desu kedo. Dekireba, kondo no nichi/getsu/ka/sui/moku/kin/do
youbi ni daikyuubi o itadakitain desu.
I worked last sun/mon/tue/wed/thu/fri/sat and, if possible,
would like to take next sun/mon/tue/wed/thu/fri/sat off in
return.
ＯＲ
この間、休み日に出勤したんですけど。できればその分を今度の日・月・火・水・木・金・土曜日に振り替えたいんです。大丈夫ですか？
kono aida, yasumi ni shukkin shitan desu kedo. Dekireba sono
bun o kondo no nichi/getsu/ka/sui/moku/kin/do youbi ni furikaetain
desu. Daijoubu desuka?
Recently, I came into work on a holiday and was wondering
if it is OK to take next would next sun/mon/tue/wed/thu/fri/sat
off in return.
A normal weekend or national holiday (days that you will not
receive a salary) are usually referred to as 休日 (Kyuujitsu)
or お休みの日 (oyasuminohi).
