Getting Paid in Advance for Vacation?

[jumpman23]

Truth be told. I do agree with having my vacation check on the week I would not have any check. Would also help with taking out Union dues.

Couldn't agree more.

I actually don't play the powerball, I play the mega millions. Im cheap powerball is too expensive at 2 bux a game. Mega is only a buck, that's more my speed, and I usually only play it if it goes to 100 million. Cant win if you don't play. Never play more than a few bucks at a time anyway.

I wish you good luck. At least that way another poor dumb PTer like myself may get a chance at a FT driving job.

Dollar and a dream, baby!

I also only play the MEGA when it tops 100 mil, it's a cheap fantasy, and I like to think I'm supporting the lucky civilian who wins the thing...

I love the stories when twenty folks at a job go in for the big one and they win...

Also, I'm sure everyone who's ever won bought a ticket...

Tell ya what though, if you were my boy at work, id totally hook u up if I hit the lotto. I got about maybe 9 guys or so at my center I would definitely hook up like a mother if I won. Im not a selfish dude at all, would bring me great pleasure to hook up my guys. One of the worst traits or characteristics in my eyes to have is selfishness, I hate that in a person.

When they first came out with direct deposit the HR rep told me how wonderful it was. The money would be in my account Friday morning so my wife could go shopping with it. I told him that he just talked me out of it...I want some in my pocket before she gets it.

What would you do with that 4 cents?

Guess that's the price we pay for cheap loans from banks these days. I don't even think my money market acct would have paid the 4 cents.

People still get physical checks? Why? Who has time to go the bank?

You get paid by the hour.

Who has time to go to the bank while on the clock?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I go to the bank on company time if I need to, and promptly put it in my board as a 10 min break.

....you also take your lunch at the end of the day in the office....

My mom has over $500,000 in a money market at her bank. She gets about $80 a month interest. She doesn't need the money and I can't get her to move it somewhere else. Depression Babies!

You make time.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You make time.

...or you set up direct deposit...

I like to watch them pile up in my sock drawer.

You had better hope Indecisi0n never visits you.

Better find a new place to hide my pay checks.

I don't think so as it is in the contract. I understand your concerns. Used to be we received our vacation check the week before we were off. People said the same thing. Just put the check away and cash it when you come back.

No.

If you are worried you may spend if before you go on vacation ask your Mom if she can hold on to it for you.
