Alright, I'll start with sick time. We accrue sick time between 2.75-3.5 hrs/month depending on your longevity. Yes it sucks. It takes 10 years to reach the 3.5 hrs/month level.

401k
1yr - 20% of the first 6%
2yr - 30% of the first 6%
3yr - 40% of the first 6%
4-6yrs - 50% of the first 6 %
7-10yrs - 75% of the first 6%
10+ - 75% of the first 8%

We have the option of a ROTH 401k or regular as well as a self directed brokerage acct where you can buy several funds/ETF's not offered on the regular JP Morgan acct.

Red Arrow Days
Red arrow days are never mentioned in the contract. They were dreamed up by the company after the contract to signify when a day was 'below reserve staffing'. Unfortunately there is no staffing formula so the company abused it and basically made almost every day red arrow. The union supposedly grieved it, however there has been no outcome to date. The red arrows have now mysteriously disappeared but the day can still come back as below staffing.

I'll do the rest when I get more time.
