Bleah, tried to copy the paper as a file but couldn't do it, so I'll type it out.
Reminder:There will be no end of the year vacations payoffs, please see vacation guidelines below.
All vacation time must be paid and used by Thanksgiving Week by w/e 11/21/2009.
Please be reminded that "No employee shall accept vacation pay in lieu of vacation" per Article 55 of our current contract.
All employees that have been prepaid must take the time off immediately.
The language in Article 55 is very clear on what vacation time may be paid off. The language says "No employee shall accept vacation pay in lieu of vacation". The only exception to this rule is in cases where an employee is entitled to four (4) or more weeks of vacation and they elect to take one o0f those weeks in one day increments. If they are unable to take all of those days off, the remaining days will be paid at the end of the year. Foe any other weeks of vacation weeks you must either 'Use them or lose them".
If you have any question please see a shop steward or supervisor.
Thank you,
Management
I took this off the wall at our hub since they have them plastered everywhere. They are saying if you have more the 5 days of vacation left on Nov22 you will lose them and not be paid for them. I was hoping to take them between Christmas and NYE, but guess I can't now.
