[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 758583, member: 22662"] I'm afraid I can't give you any insight at all. Fedex does not give contractors vacations at all. The current vacation program set up by the company costs the contractor the entire settlement for that week plus roughly $350. Secondly, I have never been asked by the company to force my drivers to take days off without pay. Without any more information, I'd be forced to conclude that you have a crappy contractor. Recently I had a meeting with my drivers setting up an incentive bonus program. At the end of it I asked if there were any questions. While the bonus was well received, it became apparrent that foremost on several people's minds was taking time off. But they needed paid time off. They couldn't afford to take time off without the pay. Honestly, it was clear from the first suggestion that it was a necessity. My guys are getting burne out. I've got a pretty good crew and while the incentive program itself is fairly pricey, the paid time off was not something I had seriously considered entering the meeting. But if that's what it costs to keep the people I have (and they do genuinely seem to like working with me) it's a price I'm more than willing to pay. [/QUOTE]
