[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 696954, member: 18044"] Throughout New England part-timers get a guaranteed [U]minimum[/U] of 20 hours pay for each vacation week; and full-timers get a guaranteed [U]minimum[/U] of 40 hours pay. But we also use the 1/52 rule, if it results in a larger amount, except that it is 1/52 of our [U]previous calendar year's total pay[/U]. (Usually the total earnings on your W-2 Form.) If a New Hire or a seniority employee didn't work the whole previous year, the weeks he had $0.00 earnings [U]don't[/U] count. So someone who worked only forty weeks, say, would get 1/40th instead of 1/52nd of his previous calendar year's earnings. Thus he is not penalized for his zero earnings weeks. When we were on strike against UPS in '97, we had zero earnings for those two weeks. I later filed a grievance to have our subsequent vacation pay calculated at 1/50th and not 1/52nd of our total '97 earnings, thus resulting in a higher vacation payout. Needless to say, I have been deeply troubled by feelings of guilt and remorse ever since. [/QUOTE]
