2. Lower the threshold to deposit hours. Maybe 75? Or better yet, link it to ALV.
What if we supplement the bank with a PTO type system? Something that accrues each paycheck and can be used to drop trips, buy vacay, etc. Doesn't roll over and you can't get paid out for it, but would allow for more flexible time off with pay and not have the onus of building up personal bank.
According the survey we are considering getting paid for the APD which would be a start, but this would be a step further.
