Guess you can't read the contract literally.
I don't remember reading this interpretation anywhere, but I may have missed it...
Bet you spoke to David T....he's the contract "expert" that always seems to work for the company. My opinion, it been long overdue for him to go. Perhaps David needs to take an english lesson. The contract states "
in conjuction with your vacation or a holiday....." what it does not state is " in conjuction with
either your vacation or a holiday..." These folks in contract enforcement are supposed to be our advocates. In my experience they are not. This is another clear cut case of the company over interpreting the contract with our guys standing by watching.
