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
The key to vacation under PBS is to get a high credit value per vacation day. In a hypothetical 80 hour PBS month ;if you have 7 days of vacation and the value is 5 hours per day that vacation credit knocks 35 hours off your 80 hours and you get built a remaining line of 45 hours. If you are senior enough you will not only get the 7 days off but plenty of time on either side of your vacation. If on the other hand the credit is only 3 hours per day the vacation credit is only 21 hours and the system builds a remaining line with a credit of 59 hours. Both lines would pay 80 hours but are very different from a QOL perspective.
