It only makes sense that they renew with each vacation year. So they answer to that would be April 1 of each year.

WickedSmaht, thanks!

You are correct.

Contract reference is 7.I.1.

Plus in section 14.K.4, if you're in one of the categories that receives supplemental vacation days, that day can be used as an IVD instance. IE, if you're in the <6% category you now have 5 IVDs in 3 instances and if you're in a <5.5% category you now have 6 IVDs to be used on 4 occasions.

EDIT: it also appears you must convert vacation to an IVD from the same vacation year. For grins I tried to IVD my day of supplemental vacation in September '18 into January and Icrew gave me an error message "MATCHING VACATION RANGE NOT FOUND".

Pile on and clarification. I have a 5-day in February . I APD the last day of the trip, and white slip a 5 day that overlaps the first 4 days of the trip. Can scheduling then put a single Banked PB day over the APD, saving my APD, or will they have to use 5 of my PB days? I know when I PD they will only put PB days starting on the beginning of the trip(use 1 or more PB days). Thanks in advance.

I sent this question to the union. The gist of the answer is: 1. You will not get your APD back. (Which I didn't expect.) 2. TOFF will cover the APD but.......CS will move APD to a different day. I suspect you can talk to CS and have them put it on a day you are good with but I don't know for sure.

I was thinking this would be a good thread to maybe pin and use as a place to ask scheduling questions..........maybe?

Another scheduling question......

Here is the situation. There is only one open time trip in my category for the rest of the month and I don’t want to WS it. I’m going to PD a three day trip. If I call CS immediately after it drops and use PB days from last year to cover the 3 days, I will be severely limited in white slipping a trip by my Max Pickup.

Question: Can I wait till later in the month to call and cover the trip with PB days...........after I get a white slip that gives me the hours I want? In other words, is there a time limit on covering a PD with payback days or do you just have to do it by the end of the month?

I know you can wait a few days, but not sure how long, or if you can do it after the drop date passes. I would ask a scheduler. If you drop and pickup quickly, you’re not limited to the max pickup.

Thanks. I was able to white slip what I wanted. I didn’t think the trips would become available like they did. I’m going to call and use the SUP days to cover it. The only thing is.......one of the trips I WS’d is the same one I dropped. I’ll have to try and explain it to CS coherently!
