[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1541868, member: 17969"] Lets start with your question. If your feeder class is completed and you graduated before the start of this planned vacation, then you would keep it. On the other hand, if this vacation falls in the second week of class, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT, unless you drop your feeder training and go back onto the list. You cannot delay the training or take time off while in training. If you completed your training, then your vacation started, it would be no big deal as you would have been sent back to package anyways until Peak Started in your area. Also, weeks taken in NOVEMBER/DECEMBER would NOT BE HONORED in feeder. Those weeks, regardless of when you scheduled them would have no priority in feeder. IF you have such weeks, you may consider changing them now and using the time. Lastly, remember, your first week of feeder school is [B]UNPAID[/B]. You will need to have [B]ONE[/B] week of vacation in the bank to cover your first week of training otherwise that week will go UNPAID. [B][U]If [/U][/B]you go UNPAID for the week and you are in the new west healthcare plan, your insurance will get CANCELLED if you dont have at [B]least 1 hour of compensatible hours[/B] for that week. Its really stupid, but its the new rules for the wonderful healthcare plan we got stuck with in the west. The feeder training is only paid by the company for the second week by agreement between the Teamsters and UPS. If the vacation in september is your last week of eligible vacation for the year, you may consider cancelling your trip and using it for your first week of training otherwise [B]there could be[/B] consequences. The following year, you would most likely select vacation from your package center as you will get kicked back in the begining of the year and no telling how long you will remain there until you are recalled into the feeder group you are assigned to. If you are lucky enough to remain in feeder the following year from the start, you will then select vacation in feeder but you will select last and the premium months will all be most likely closed by the time you choose. The only drag is when you get sent back and chose in package and then go back to feeder, feeder never wants to honor those weeks. It blows going back to the bottom of the vacation selection list in feeder, but its a small sacrifice to get out of package. TOS. [/QUOTE]
