Caveman_Nick Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I guess you didn't read the whole thread before you posted this. But I have to lose 20 hours of vacation time OR lost 20 hours of pay through the year. Doesn't seem fair. How is it that you are losing vacation time? You are not losing it. You are spending it to compensate for time you are off. That's what it's for. And you get 3 day weekends every weekend for it. Wow...somebody's getting late in their cycle...

Puddy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If we have to use 10 hours of PTO if we call in to work or for vacation for a day we are out then we should get paid 10 hours for holiday pay because that is our normal day. Nope for all the reasons so eloquently stated above We have flex time and the several weeks we have holidays during the year we revert to a 5x8 system for everyone.

None of this matters now as my boss just called me and told me that on weeks where there is a holiday we work 5 days that week.

I was wondering how you got that photo of me in your sigline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the boss doesn't like that fact that we have to use 2 hours of vacation time when we are not hourly (whatever that means) so he just said put in 8 hours in your time sheets for that week.

boat_hacked Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Wow! paid holidays. What are those??? Just be glad you get the fringe benefit of being paid not to work. Companies do not have to give holiday pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Companies do not have to give holiday pay. If they want to attract talented people they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Well the boss doesn't like that fact that we have to use 2 hours of vacation time when we are not hourly (whatever that means) so he just said put in 8 hours in your time sheets for that week. I think he is referring to the fact that you are an exempt employee and get paid a salary rate as opposed as getting paid an hourly rate.

Hardrocker Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Seems to me another way of looking at it is this... You work 4 10 hour days each week or 40 hours. If you took one day off it would cost you 1.2 days of vacation if they pay you 8 hrs each day of vacation. By that cost, you could take a week off for 5 days....or by literally spending a week of vacation. They are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hey ... I have an idea ... during holiday weeks why don't you put in 2 twenty hour days ... that way you can demand that your holiday pay should be 20 hours for a single holiday.
