Single Day Vacation Denied

[JL 0513]

Sure it is, why not? A vacation is a day(s) off for pleasure, or whatever that is paid.

It is typically defined as extended leave.

It is typically defined as extended leave.

Extended leave is ambiguous. It could mean a 3 day weekend.

 

[Brownslave688]

As a senior driver, not only do I get seven weeks vacation, but I have to start picking them in October the previous year. Unsurprisingly, I found myself spending most of the year wishing I picked something different because unforeseen events came up. Or I just really could use a few more three day weekends. Doctors and dentists. And my personal favorite; it's supposed to snow.
I still have 5 scheduled weeks off which is more than most people dare dream of. The rest I like to have the flexibility.

Not a chance I'm using a vacation or option day for a doctors or dentist appointment.

 

[Brownslave688]

It is typically defined as extended leave.

In the contract you are given the ability to split a vacation week into single days. Therefore it's called single day vacation.


This isn't rocket science.

Give it time.

 

[Brownslave688]

Give it time.

I won't be at work Tuesday. I have a doctors appointment.




Has not failed in 15 years.

This thread seems like a good place to ask a question.

I requested a personal for next Friday. Request was disapproved: bumped by senior employee.

Senior employee requested "Schedule off". In other words, pay code 26, dead day.

Can a senior employee bump a junior with such a request?

No

 

[Packmule]

If you're 8 or more days prior to requested day, yes. Unless a pay code 26 is something I've never heard about before.

Not a chance I'm using a vacation or option day for a doctors or dentist appointment.

I requested a day off for a dentist appointment a couple of months ago and it was denied. Appointments takes about 3 months to get at this office.

Guess what, won't be requesting nicely anymore.

 

[Luke Thighrocker]

No

That's what I thought and what I argued.

On car responded, "we'll make him burn a day".

That's not the request senior employee submitted. And contractually, it shouldn't bump mine.

My attendance is in order. I will be banging in. I'm wondering if my situation is grievable.

To put a stop to them not doing it by the book I would say yes it's grievable.

Explain further what exactly is a paycode 26?

In your contract isn't there language about doctors appointments? Something like how much notice and if they can't accommodate the time of the appointment they may schedule you off?

If he didn't put it in writing that he wanted a paid day you have your day.


I'd just tell them I won't be there. If you're denying me consider this my 1+ hour notice.

I don't "request"



I write in the book. Won't be here doctors appointment.

Explain further what exactly is a paycode 26?

Scheduled off without pay.

This is exactly why I contend that drivers should be forced to use all of their paid time before being allowed to take "dead days".

 

[Brownslave688]

Scheduled off

 

[Luke Thighrocker]

Explain further what exactly is a paycode 26?

Pay code 26 is used for layoff. A dead day. No work, no pay. Senior employee submitted a request for it. As I understand, no language exists for such a request.

 

[Packmule]

Then you are right according to the way things are here. Seniority only counts if you are applying for a personal or an SDV. You must use these days to be entered in the drawing. Grieve it.
