[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 705822, member: 12570"] Only if you grieve it. Was this vacation scheduled and they simply messed up and didn't pay you or was it a last minute thing where there was no time to cut you a check before you went on vacation? Vacation checks are normally issued two weeks before you go on vacation (it used to be only one week). This was changed in the last contract and is to ensure that the funds are in place before you go on vacation and gives them time to issue another check if there was an issue with the original before you go on vacation. Payroll errors brought to their attention (that is key) must be corrected in the following week's pay; if the error is not, this is where the pay extra if your check is late comes in to play but only if you notify the company of the original error and subsequent failure to correct the error. It sounds to me like you took this vacation as a spur of the moment thing and the company did not have time to issue you a standard check which is why they are issuing you the green check. It also sounds as though you may be out of luck as far as any penalty pay is concerned. [/QUOTE]
