Time off

We didn't have sick days back when men were men.

I made the mistake one year of not using all my sick days. When I got paid out I was livid. Taxed at like 50%, never again. To this day I still don’t know how I didn’t use all my days. We get six here and they are usually exhausted by Jan

Not taxed at a higher rate unless it bumps you into a higher bracket.

Not taxed at a higher rate unless it bumps you into a higher bracket.

Probably mixing the word "taxed" versus "withheld"

No, you aren't taxed at a higher rate for payments unless it bumps you up a tax bracket.
But payroll might very well WITHHOLD more; making your payout into your bank account smaller. You'd get the difference back at tax time though.

I've been at ups part time for 3 years and became full time a couple months ago. Now for vacation, sick and option days do I get 40 hour's because last week my time card said 2 weeks vacation, 40 hours sick time and 24 hours option time. Now this week my time card says 2 weeks vacation, 20 hours sick days and 12 hours option days. I don't know if it's because I'm basically "starting over" that I have to wait a year to get full time vacation hours or once you are full time you do get full time hours. I'm in New Englan

I’m in Philly and the way it is here is you are earning next years vacations, optional, and sick time this year. The time that you have now was earned as a part timer, so you will get paid part time hours for those vacations and days. Next year your vacations and days will be paid at the full time rate.

Here, our time off just gets converted to FT. When I went FT it was in September of that year and my last week of vacation was paid out at 45 hours and the remaining sick/personal days were 8 hours at my new FT rate when I used them.

And everything here just renews Jan 1.

I got 5 sick and 3 personal when I started.

A good employee never takes off.

The length of the contract

So that number would be 25

Just found they’re carrying all of our sick days over this year even though in the past we would get them paid off due to being the last year of the contract. Anyone else notice this?

That's always been a practice here

No one got paid out here.

We only get paid out for unused personal days at the end of the year.

Sick days accumulate

They didn’t pay our personal days this year either, just added in the new ones. We always got paid out our unused sick days in a contract year.

I really have her personal day left but I wouldn't mind having it rolled over if I did

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

What kind of fool would roll over vacation days?

Someone tight with management.

Some money mind guys look at it as a savings account, 25 sick days is like $8400.

I guess. I hope those money mind guys enjoy it when they are in the cemetery...

It really depends on your local language. We can accrue up to 60 days here, so a lot of guys use it as terminal vacation. If we roll over 5 or more it can be scheduled as a vacation week so some lower seniority guys use it for that extra week until they get more real vacation weeks.
