Vacation Accrual Scenarios
Example 1
John Doe has 15 days of vacation coming.
He was given 3 days of SWW the second week of summer shutdown.
They will take the 3 days of SWW (80%) x rate of hourly rate at summer shutdown.
For easy math let’s say we made $38 hour x 80% = $30.40/hour x 24 hours = $729.60
If he has 15 days of vacation coming, you take 15 days x $42.42 hour (todays rate)
15 days = 45 hours x $42.42 = $5090.40
$5090.40 – 729.60 = $4360.80.
Then you take $4360.80 / $42.42 = 102.8 hours of vacation / 8 hours per day = 12.85 vacation days to book.
Example 2
Jane Doe has 15 days of vacation coming.
She had 0 days of SWW paid the second week of summer shutdown.
They take $0 off total.
Jane gets 15 days of vacation to book.
Example 3
Jane Doe has 15 days of vacation coming.
She had 0 days of SWW paid the second week of summer shutdown.
Jane used 40 hours of unpaid vacation in October.
Those 40 hours will be paid the week of January 9.
Jane has 10 days left of vacation to book.
Points to remember:
If you don’t use it company will pay it out in July – however if there are layoffs in May or June the company can force your vacation into layoff weeks.
Week of January 9th, the company will pay out all used unpaid vacation hours from July 1- until now.
Week of January 9th your pay cheques will reflect your new vacation allotment.
