Good...Good, so you took my advice and redid your will taking out the pool boy and the gardener? Good!

Nowadays, it seems if you have the wife in the will - well the pool boy is coming too. Now you see my problem.

 

[twoweeled]

This is exactly why I have no life insurance and chose the full pension option when I retired.
I figure that way she can't kill me.

It would appear sir, You have found the solution.

I had a customer tell me one day....you know, the longer you work the more your wife and her new man are going to get.

 

[clean hairy]

Yes they do! I'm saving for one! Although, I may forgo the simulated chrome rims.

Instead, go for the real chrome 22's !

Instead, go for the real chrome 22's !

So long as they cost no more than $39.95, for all four! Put my Craig 8 track in. I'm in!!

I have a quick question regarding the payouts for vacations and/or unused personal or sick time when you retire.

My official retirement date is 6/23. I have scheduled my 6 weeks of vacation to begin w/e 5/19. We are paid for our vacations two Fridays prior to the Friday of the vacation week, which should mean that I would get paid for the vacations on 5/4.

This is my question:

Will I receive all 6 vacation checks on 5/4 or will they pay them out one week at a time?

 

[trickpony1]

You should get all 6 checks on 5/4.
I know someone who did that.

Your extra check for accrued vacation time will be at the center shortly after you retire.

 

[oldngray]

The details vary between locals but here you would get multiple checks at the same time.

Is Dave not on direct deposit?

 

[oldngray]

Is Dave not on direct deposit?

He would still get a void check as a statement unless he had electronic only statements.

The direct deposits should be listed as multiple deposits, not as one lump sum.

Is Dave not on direct deposit?

Of course—-paperless direct.

6 separate deposits.

What extra check?

 

[trickpony1]

What extra check?

Dave, Dave, Dave....
We've talked about this and, again, I know someone who did this.

Each time you punch in since January 1, 2018 counts as a "report".
Vacation days count as "reports".
Sick days count as "reports".

After you are officially gone, a LIVE check (this means you have to cash it) will be house mailed to your center. This is for the vacation time you accrued since January 1, 2018.

Someone said you have to ask for it. I'm not aware this is true.

 

[oldngray]

What is normally done is schedule all your vacation after the last day you actually work. Your official retirement day won't be until after those vacation weeks.

Here everyone gets their new vacation weeks Jan 1 so people schedule their vacations then and officially retire in Feb.

If they want to do it that way that is. Some retire at different times of the year - mostly when they get enough time for another year of pension credit.

I just sent my BA a text to ask him if this is true.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I just sent my BA a text to ask him if this is true.

My BA just confirmed my suspicions that this is not how it works. We work thus year for next years vacations and as such I would have to work at least 1 day in 2019. No thanks.

 

[trickpony1]

...this is not how it works.

...then I wonder why someone I know got a check for his accrued vacation time when he retired like you will/have?

Did you ask your BA what happens to the vacation time you've accrued in 2018? Does it just go POOF?
