They didn’t notice getting paid out for all of their vacation days?
I’m guessing it was USA and they were just lost.
That would have been the first thing I’d check … seems standard practice.
Yeah. I mean… I kinda sympathize, but yeah. Vacation days disappearing if they go unused for a year is pretty common.
Does Anon think they were the first person to come up with the extended vacation plan? If no, then wouldn’t it make sense to find out why it wasn’t more widespread?
I had to take three separate 4 week vacations one year since my company was switching to a max accrual so I had to get below the mx by years end.
Standard is for your workplace to force you to take a vacation if you build up to much. It should be illegal to remove your vacation.
They can also pay it out as wage instead at the end of the year. It’s the standard practice around here if you accumulate above a certain threshold. Nothing gets lost, except that you pay taxes on wages but not on vacation.
I was shocked the first time I had vacation days expire without any kind of notification that I had miscalculated, and there was no payout or anything for the lost hours. I mean, the vacation days are part of the negotiated reimbursement for work. The deal is I give my time doing whatever I’m asked, and in return they give me money and time off. They shouldn’t be able to not give it to me because my napkin math was wrong.
To me it is no different than if you were paid by physical check, and if you didn’t pick up your check fast enough they threw it away and didn’t pay you. If I hadn’t already been radicalized, this would have put me over the edge.
I’m assuming that’s the US your talking, here I couldn’t save up days like anon’s super genius plan but they wouldn’t all disappear.
The most likely thing to happen would be they would just force me to take the holiday. If I started trying to do that round about this time of year they would be telling me to take a month off somewhere. If I didn’t do anything at that point they would just randomly start booking time off for me. There isn’t a way for me to stack them exactly.
Try and take holiday and they refuse the time because there isn’t capacity then they have to pay you for that time.
But there’s no system where they can just vanish your days.
