Can someone give me a definitive answer on how much vacation time and option week time I should have? Full time driver with one year seniority, and two and a half years total at UPS. I’ve had an option week(50 hours) since the the first of the year, then I just got my vacation time the past week, as it was my one year seniority date as a driver. It showed I was scheduled to earn 90 hours vacation time on my seniority date, which it shows in the time off viewer on UPSERS; however my option week time completely disappeared from there. Hoping someone can help.

The option week dropped off as you will be paid for it.
I had 270 hours of vacation time built up---this morning it shows 0----this is because I have scheduled all 6 weeks in a row preceding my 6/22 retirement date.

When I get ready to retire, I want to do the same. When I take my 6 or 7 weeks vaca before my actual retire date, do I have to come back and work "1" day or not??

Are you sure?
I know someone who worked the first week of 2017, then took his vacations and optionals and retired.
There's a reason he worked the first week of 2017.

That's different. He most likely worked that first week in order to get his vacations and optionals for the year. I am assuming that he had a December retirement date and figured it would be worth his while to work a bit longer to make an additional $8-9K.
Htown's question was whether he would have to come back and work a day after having taken his 6 or 7 weeks vacation in a row just before his projected retirement date. My answer was nope.

Maybe it's just me or maybe it's the things I've seen in all my years with the company but...
Would it really, really hurt Htown to work a day or a week preferably before he takes his paid time off simply to insure the company doesn't pull any tricks?
Really?

...Htown has one shot at this. If I was him, I would make sure I didn't miss.
But that's just me.

Yes. In order to be eligible for his 2017 vacations.
That's not what he asked.
He asked if he had to work 1 day before retiring after taking his 7 weeks vacation.
And the answer is no.
