[QUOTE="clarification, post: 293669"] that post relates to the Western & Southwest Package Rider. Sick days are specifically regulated as such, at 7 per year. After calling in 5 consecutive days management can demand a Doctors note on the 5th day. However, this just guarantees you pay for the time but does not entitle you to to be sick 7 times without penalty. In general practice, management disciplines for more than 3 occurances in a 3 month period. Consecutive sick days are considered one occurance. Tardies, Sick, No Call, all go into the same classification. IMO this conflicts with taking of other defined benefit days such as Optional Holiday, Personal Holiday, and Vacation days; as well as Request Off days, but that is the practice. There is specific language to prohibit management from coding people off who are not sick because this was used to cover up when they do layoffs in the spring and fall. Problem was that summer would come and drivers who already worked 50 hours by Thursday would be calling in Friday. Management would use those days coded off as 'sick' in the spring to establish an attendance problem when it really was just them "being cool" and giving a driver a paid day instead of laying off the least senior drivers or being forced to reduce everyone's workday to accommodate everyone who demanded their 8 hour guarantee. See what "management being cool" gets ya! The Sick Day bank is repopulated on the employee anniversary date and days can be banked up to 30. Sick time can be selected during the vacation selection period as a bank of 5 days of "Sick Vacation". So essentially it is the same as your Option 3 except we have to call in as "sick" not "option 3". We still encourage the members to not give a reason and to grieve any harrassment from management to come in anyway. Sorry for the confusion, I forget anyone exists west of the Rockies. [/QUOTE]
