[QUOTE="tiegirl, post: 518382, member: 11669"] That is probably very correct of how you say "you are not a bargaining unit employee". With that being said that does mean that many decisions concerning time off, what is good and what is bad, etc is a personal determination of the particular supervisor. So knowing that, that is the reason I said what I said. It is not consistent where I work. One supervisor makes a decision affecting the team that works for him and another supervisor makes a total differnet decision that affects the team that works for them. We all work in the same building for the same company but have to go by different rules set forth by our supervisors. You are fortunate that this issue of bereavement pay or funeral leave is already determined for you. As well as any other time off issue. There are probably many other issue that are already predetermined that you do not have to wonder what is going to happen because your supervisor is going to make a decision concerning the issue. The outcome will be dependent upon, 'where are his current numbers' and does he like you or not. I would much rather work under predetermined terms of employee than the mood of my supervisor for that particular day. It's not bereavement pay, it's funeral leave....not the same thing at all. I understand that you are not a bargaining unit employee, but most of us are. The contract spells out just how the funeral leave is handled, although in some areas if differs due to supplemental language. As the funeral leave, our vacations are taken as the contracts read. I don't know of any of our contracts allow for splitting up vacation days over more than a week at a time. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. The OP's boss may well be a total jerk, but not because they won't do what you have suggested.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
