In our district, 39 is the code for option 3 day. Scheduled off (Article 64 days) are code 26. Two of our drivers are filing grievances because they were told that they could have an unpaid, scheduled day off by a supervisor, then were coded as an option day.
So a driver in their first year could get the day off before a 5 year driver in this scenario.Southern Supplement
ARTICLE 64 -TIME OFF UNPAID
When time off is available it shall be offered in seniority order by classification as long as it does not result in economic cost to the Employer.
Why would you say that? It says in seniority order, top down.So a driver in their first year could get the day off before a 5 year driver in this scenario.

I firmly believe that drivers should have to use all of their paid time before being allowed to take "dead days".
When they call and ask if I would be willing to take a layoff day so a low seniority or cover guy can work, why should I use my personal time on that? I'm doing them a favor.
Guess I'm so used to doing things this way, didn't think about company seniority. Company seniority rarely comes into play around here for much of anything. I think there was a discussion concerning this somewhere recently. I personally like how we have it set up here, keeps the chaos low.Classifications as opposed to company.
I am top driver but have less company seniority than two other drivers.
You can always say no.
Coverage reasons(area knowledge) mainly.Why would you say that? It says in seniority order, top down.
Yes it counts....it's a paid dayAt our center during layoff season I've been using code 41 "sick/layoff" We need 80 hours a month to maintain benefits. Does anyone know if using code 41, which gives you an 8 hour day, contribute to the 80 hours?
Thank youYes it counts....it's a paid day
The daily ops report is the only one I know of that would show those codes. It's the same one available to the masses.
Not saying there isn't another one, it is just the only one I've seen
I'm talking about when the corrections are done. That has to show up somewhere.
What's the difference between a scheduled day off and a lay off? Is one more favorable?This depends on your local language. In many areas seniority doesn't give you the right to a scheduled day off.
