So what if they are? It doesn't affect your tax rate at the end of the year. If it bothers you, just change your withholding.
why i don't get paid by a green check ? do you ?

I like the way you talkGreen checks are only taxed at the higher tax rate if your supervisor puts in the request as a payoff (sellback). If they put in the request properly, payroll will pay it as a regular vacation at your normal withholding rate. There are quite a few operators in the districts who still do not understand this distinction when they put in a request for a vacation that was scheduled late or didn't get put into the calendar properly.
There is one button for entering payoffs (supplemental tax 25% federal, state varies) and one button for "Vacation Not in Scheduler" (your normal withholding rates). Payroll taxes it according to the request from the center. We see quite a few submitted as payoffs with the comment "Bob will be on vacation w/e 4/3/10" and we have to tax them as payoffs because that's how the center entered the request. However, if this happens, it CAN be corrected after the fact. The center must put in a new request explaining that they entered a payoff request that should have been entered as a regular vacation. Payroll will issue a refund of the difference in taxes and the center will be charged with a payroll error.

First of all, the vacation check is not technically late until the day before your vacation. After that The company has only 2 working days to correct the shortage, if more than $30, once notified. If not corrected on the second work day, you are entitled to 1/2 your hourly guarantee at strait time pay, for every pay period after that, that it is not corrected. They also must send it to you NDA Saturday delivery if you request it.

Upstate is way off on this one.
Mercy bears richer fruit than strict justice.Yes but this guy asked to change his vacation from the week he picked in January... No Grievance here... If he would file, I would deny his vacation change and stick him with the one he originally picked...
The Contract clearly says,
"All green checks will be taxed at the employee’s regular withholding tax rate."
Kae, would you please ask your boss, "What part of All don't you understand?"
This appears to be yet another instance where official company policy is to violate the Contract.
I"ve always wondered why Payroll would tax anything at a higher rate to begin with. Why go to the trouble. Why make people angry? It's only a small portion of an employee's yearly gross pay, and he'll settle up with the IRS by April 15 anyway, so it's not going to effect anything except the employee's spirits.
Your management style leaves you with no hourly loyallty whatsoever. You are managing grown adults and someone will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. You will not succeed without our support!Yes but this guy asked to change his vacation from the week he picked in January... No Grievance here...

I put the vacation request in 90 prior to my vacation. The request was approved, but never submitted to payroll (an error on the hub managers part)

I would agree with SOCKS here, if he asked to change his vacation, he should allow a little bit of leeway in receiving the check. But if he does not get it by the second or third day of his vacation, I would be writing up a grievance.
A higher power..... I think the Devil is pretty busy right now but I know he has a soft spot for you.One more thing to add to this. You are supposed to request your weeks for vacation and alternate weeks in the beginning of the year. Vacations are granted based on seniority and if your preference week is filled by higher seniority employees, then you are awarded an alternate week. After that done deal, and vacations are set. If your manager decides for whatever reason to let you change your vacation, it is out of the kindness of his heart. This is a prime example of how good practices are outlawed. If you guys start to grieve things that your manager changed to help you out, it will no longer be allowed. If I was the payroll manager and this adjustment was sent to me, I would simply say that no one under any circumstance is allowed to change their vacations anymore.
I used to have employees that would tell me that their wife was going to give birth to their child and instead of taking Family Leave they would like to take their four weeks vacation consecutive starting the day after their child was born, and I would grant it. You guys start griveing things like this and I guarantee a higher power will outlaw this practice.
It has taken from September until now, but I finally agree with Socks on an issue. I'll equate it with "the blind squirrel theory". What a logistical nightmare it must be to manage the vacation schedule. If you're lucky enough to negotiate a switch, you have no grievance on pay until your originally scheduled week arrives. To my knowledge, there is no contractual onus on the company to facilitate a switch. So to grieve anything of the sort, would be cutting off the hand that feeds you. I would expect, like Socks said, that it would be the end of vacation switches as well as your grievance being thrown out.One more thing to add to this.
