Wow. Thanks for pointing this one out. Can't believe I wasn't aware of this option before.

So what happens if I drop a 15:45 3-day, and have scheduling pull that much time from my "vacation bank time"? Which week does this come from? Do we just tell them which one we want?

Also, this would leave 8:45 left in a typical VAC week (not primary or secondary.) How does that work when you get into that vacation month for PBS purposes?

It's not quite 3 days remaining (at 3:30/day) but more than 2. Seems like it would have to be treated differently whether you're REG or RES.

This is a nice thing to keep in mind for the extra 4th or 5th week that always seems to fall in February.

Your days and bank time are separate but normally a day is used with the corespondent hour value. I view it completely differently. The vacation bank is a pot to draw from and the days are off days to use as I need them. Both have restrictions. With IVD, PD, and APDs I get access to vacation bank hours and the days off I want. With vacation move up, vacation slide and vacation any bids, I get days off I want. When used in conjunction with the full service bank it all washes out at the end of the year and my pay is exactly even and my QOL is much improved. There are some nice green slip benefits to if used correctly but that’s the 400 level and graduate stuff.

I'm still not sure I follow.

Are you saying I can PD a 3 day trip in January, and get paid for it from my vacation bank time, and still retain the full 7 days in say March? I would just get paid 15:45 (or the value of the trip) less for those 7 days?

Are you basically just choosing when you want to get paid for the VAC time?

And just to clarify, Vacation Bank Time and the Full Service Bank are two separate pots right? You seem to be using them interchangeably above.

Yes, days of vacation only have a specific value when the vacation bank is filled based on the number of week you get.

They are two completely different banks with their own usage restrictions. If you are short during a month with vacation days (or any month) you can pull time from the full service bank.

Thanks for the info. Will definitely be filing this one away.

The choice allows you substantial additional time off in the summer when many prefer it.

My understanding is that you can use an IVD to drop a 3 day trip in January, either get partial or full pay from the vacation bank and then you get 6 days in march. You used 1 vacation day to drop the trip, you then choose if you reduce the value of the remaining 6.

Gotcha.

So if I bid reserve in March, how are the X days pro-rated? Seems like this may be a workaround to get more time off if you don’t mind going lower on pay in one or both months?

Say I choose to take the pay/credit in January. Now those vacation days would be worth less in March. Do we still enter the X day table in the same row regardless of the value of the days?
