Like that you can designate how much to allocate to each week.
I think the takeaway is some years of longevity JB-NK have the same number of weeks. In those years JB credits more vacation. In the years where NK gets more weeks, they have the advantage in some ways.
JB gets a lot of hours for each week of vacation. The NK system of accruing a variable rate of hour per week based on longevity might be a way to get more weeks of vacation sooner while still keeping the high weekly credit. I really like the high credit per week because you get more of the month off when you have a vacation. But I also want more weeks, sooner in longevity.
Haven't looked at how allocation of weeks available for bidding compares, I do think JB distributes weeks throughout the year well. And certainly JB has an advantage in PTO/sick. And yet JB still doesn't get enough. Room for improvement there.
Shifting gears...
What are NK's requirement for TPS reports?
