Sick time carryover not allowed?

[HBGPreloader]

Hey Gang,
I have some unused sick time that I planned on carrying over into the new contract year.
However, I was informed by management(?) that we cannot do this at this time because we are at the end of the current contract.
My local (Central PA) hasn't opened yet and I didn't see the local steward this morning to ask him.
So, is this required?
The local supplement says I can request to accumulate sick time and it doesn't say anything about being forced to use them when the contract is expiring.

Cheers!

Talk to your steward and/or BA. Contracts expiring has nothing to do with carrying over sick time.

That's what I kind of figured.
But, I'll clarify with my BA because I would rather save the time or take the time off.

You get a check for unused days. Put the cash in the bank and save it
..same difference.

I suppose next your sup will tell you your medical will not cover in doctor or hospital because your near the end of your contract.

Do you get paid at current rate for old time?

Old rate

Old rate

Still, that can really add up over a career.

Can you put them directly into your 401k?

I don't know about putting that into the 401k. We can do that with personal days

Open an IRA with it

I have an IRA. And I usually don't have too many extra days left anyways. If you go into the 401k website you will see under contributions . Option week. You can have a percentage or all of it put in.
