20% will run out the door and not even think about that, unfortunately.

Did you already forget how many bolted for a lousy 33k? (Before taxes)

I don't think passenger service is getting too many bites with their latest buyout. To me the only way you would take it is if you were already leaving. The purpose of this buyout should be to get rid of the cynical employee, of course they can't say that
 
Negative vacation / sick balance. It seems, unlike in the past, when you are out for an extended period of time, being compensated with sick time compensation, you no longer accrue vacation or sick time for the time you are out. A member returned from a 3 month recovery from surgery. Used all his vacation time that current year. Was welcomed back to work in the last quarter of 2015. Was informed in the first quarter of 2016 he had a negative vacation balance of hours that translated to about 2 weeks. The said employee was maxed out on his sick time accrual bank going into surgery. Welcome back! BTW... you owe us 7-8 days of vacation from last year. Nice! Other ways they neutralize what is offered at the table. Let's take our time and pay attention to detail. How and when did this happen? I don't recall this policy being in place in the past.
 
orgac  in my station weve got a large number of folks being forced to either give up or pay back vacation weeks   I cannot even begin to tell you how angry they are   I even got nailed where I am told I owe company money even though I have not been out   Used FMLA from time to time and had plenty hrs etc but personally I think its our admin clerk screwing up as usual    But seeing how some of your bros and sisters in your station too  something crazy is up   another fine example of the company's disrespect for the hard working employees

With Family leave don't you have to exhaust your vacation before getting to sick time? To me family leave is a great idea however it is wildly(widely) abused

We currently at LAA side accumulate our vacation throughout the year so you won't have to (ugh) pay the company back.

I have a feeling we're going to wind up with your way since I think they do that with management and maybe the agents as well?

Anyone feel like checking that agent contract again?

 If you took off the whole month of January wouldn't you use it before you accrue it?
 
Worldport  I know the initial FMLA for family caregiver is supposed to be unpaid  and would start with 480hrs depending on the individual  However at least in my station Ive gotten paid for some of those  despite taking my 4 weeks vacation   I have brought it to mgmt attention repeatedly but that like talking to brick walls    I agree that some peeps do abuse it  Im not one of them bec I have it for my special needs son and its well documented
​I and a number of my fellow coworkers think the admin clerk is f..k. people over     I know 2 folks who were out for a few months and took their vac and they owe the company back money   it all sucks as far as I'm concerned   its just another disrespect by the mgmt. and employees

 I'm sure it is written in black and white somewhere and since it is the law of the land the company has to abide by it. It should be something the union could  help you with. If you find out one way or the other it should ease you stress and make a difficult situation little bit easier

The system is Chinese to me. But if we went with it then don't they own me now the vacation I didn't get the first year I worked? Or was that 2 weeks? 21 years is a long time ago for my noggin sometimes.

Just hope I'm never out for an extended period of time then. Paying back a few weeks can get pretty expensive.

Alcohol has probably done a number on my brain cells but I definitely got a vacation my first year I was living up north and actually drove to Daytona

Same accumulation process at LUS. Hypothetically, if you are out 3 months on paid sick leave, you have not accrued the necessary vacation weeks or days you bid that year. Work Brain or the company does not give you any fore warning. Employee takes the bid vacation time for the year and the company advises the employee in the first quarter the are at negative balance. Maybe this issue needs to be addressed at JCBA negotiations. Let's pay attention to the details folks. Not just hourly wage.
