[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 493311, member: 18044"] Actually, in RI, and all of New England, contributions to pension and H&W funds are paid on [U]all hours[/U] that the employee is paid for, up to a maximum of forty hours per week. If an employee works ten hours a day Monday thru Thursday, he has already gotten his forty hours maximum for the week. His overtime hours count. However he earns no additional benefits, and no contributions are made on his behalf, if he works on Friday. All paid hours count toward the forty hour maximum, vacation days, holidays, sick days, etc. Odd as it may seem, a New England employee who has gotten his forty hours maximum each and every week earns a full year of Pension Credit in the Pension Fund by Veterans Day. He earns no additional pension credit for working the rest of the year. Contributions are still made up to forty hours per week, but he accrues no additional pension credit. So if someone arranged to take every Peak Season off for their entire career, say, by using unpaid FMLA Leave, they would earn the same amount of Pension Credit as someone who suffered through each of those thirty or more Peak Seasons. [Of course, taking even one Peak Season off would be wrong. So very wrong.] [/QUOTE]
