Also, this would leave 8:45 left in a typical VAC week (not primary or secondary.) How does that work when you get into that vacation month for PBS purposes?
It's not quite 3 days remaining (at 3:30/day) but more than 2. Seems like it would have to be treated differently whether you're REG or RES.
This is a nice thing to keep in mind for the extra 4th or 5th week that always seems to fall in February.
Your days and bank time are separate but normally a day is used with the corespondent hour value. I view it completely differently. The vacation bank is a pot to draw from and the days are off days to use as I need them. Both have restrictions. With IVD, PD, and APDs I get access to vacation bank hours and the days off I want. With vacation move up, vacation slide and vacation any bids, I get days off I want. When used in conjunction with the full service bank it all washes out at the end of the year and my pay is exactly even and my QOL is much improved. There are some nice green slip benefits to if used correctly but that’s the 400 level and graduate stuff.
