Next topic, can any of you PBS gurus give us any info on vacation bidding. One of my big concerns going to PBS here at SPA is losing what we have now. Currently we can pretty easily turn a 7 day vacation period into a 20 day or more off stretch. I'm hearing from some that you will often get only the 7 days under some PB systems. I know a lot of it is "all in the language" but any thoughts would help, Thanks
One idea that I’ve heard floated it a high/low vacation credit option.
High vacation credit selection; you opt to use 30 credit from your bank, average line value for the month is 75 hours, 75-30= you must fly 45 credit (2 4-Days?).
Low vacation credit selection; you opt to use 18 hours from your bank, average line value is 75 hours, 75-18= you must fly 57 credit. But, you keep more hours in the bank for potential float.....
With this option, it all boils down to what exactly are average line values as to how much time you get off. Granted, under our current system you still have the potential to prematurely deplete your bank and get stuck with unpaid time off, but you still get that time off.....
Note, this is just one concept, we need to see the TA to find out what the details are.
