[QUOTE="MattM, post: 4346543, member: 53192"] This happens in the western region too. You need a verifiable 'punch' or monies earned during the week to not only maintain insurance, but also to earn holiday pay. I learned the hard way a year or two back. I took a few days off after christmas. Instead of using option days (as noted on my vacation selection form), those days were cashed out 3 weeks prior, and they reverted all of those days to simply scheduled off. Just be careful and watch your own back. The calendar may show option days, and they code it as such, but when there's nothing else, it gets reverted. Maybe my building is just lazy. We have guys using 10-15 option days just to get a day off knowing full well they don't have any time left. And fighting/explaining what happened was not worth the hassle. In my case, I should've been proactive and told them that I need one of my 'option days' after Christmas converted to a sick day. My fear was, do they go by the calendar or what the computer says. They may have told me to show up since I don't have the paid days left. So I said nothing until after the fact. [/QUOTE]
