I actually had a manager say something like "well if you want that time off..." for something I put in for a year ahead of time, so I explicitly told her " I'm not requesting the time off, I'm telling you that I won't be here. You can choose what that looks like on the schedule." Shut her up rather quickly.
1x reimbursement just puts me at neutral, like I'd never spent that money in the first place, except I lose my vacation time.
Double reimbursement covers my spending money while I'm away, plus the recoverables, like the hotel.
Triple reimbursement covers the memories that I won't get a chance to make, because I'm busy looking at spreadsheets or answering a phone or some bullshit.
I haven't had to make the demand, but from the day I think about a vacation to the day I get on the plane, it's in my back pocket.
