So you can let one PB day convert to 1 SUPP day worth 4:35, or if you can burn that PB day for 9:10 and bank the time, that same single PB day then buys 2 SUPP vacation days for the next vacation year.
True—unless you need/want more than 10 additional vacation days (the bank limit). In this case, and assuming the time is more important than the dollars, the SUPP days are the way to go.
Doesn’t really apply to me any more, but I used this several times when I was more junior to make an extended summer vacation period.
