[QUOTE="Kae3106, post: 696859, member: 27557"] Official answer: ask your supervisor to put in a payroll inquiry and payroll will explain how your vacation was calculated. Quick answer from a payroll employee: It depends on your local supplement. Some areas are paid 20/40/45 hours x rate for vacations, some are paid based on the average number of hours worked in the prior month, and some are based on the 1/52 rule. Just based on what you posted, I'm going to guess that you might be in a supplement that has the 1/52 rule. I've primarily seen the 1/52 rule in Southern California but I'm not familiar with the entire country's local supplements. Here's how that is calculated: All of your earnings (excluding cashed out weeks) are added up for the 52 weeks prior to your earn date. That sum is divided by 52. The resulting total is what you are paid for your vacations that year. Example: you earned your vacation on Feb 1, 2010. All of your gross earnings from 2/1/2009 - 1/31/2010 are added up and divided by 52. That is the amount you will get for your vacation. It's basically your average gross wages over a year. The 1/52 calculation tends to come out higher than the normal hourly rate for full time employees who work a lot of overtime and lower than the normal hourly rate for part time employees who don't always get 20 hours each week. It will also be significantly lower if you had unpaid time off during the year as those weeks will calculate in as $0 earnings. [/QUOTE]
