It is in their best interest to keep everybody informed and engaged.
At least that is what they tell us here at FXF.
I think I would ask your service center manager what the deal is.
They can´t take anything you earned so far, but the way I read it, it tells me they are putting on a freeze for the next 4 months, so that you can help SAIA get by this rough patch.

OK. So if in the past you "Earned" your vacation time the year before you took it and now you don't "Earn" it until after the first quarter of the year, they get away with not being liable for 3 months vacation time. Imagine that.

in the past first check in jan would show us how many vac hrs we had. i get 2 weeks so that would be 80. now the check in jan will show 0 and as the year goes by we will earn hrs,i would guess they would give so many hrs per quarter depending on how many weeks you get, in my case that would be 20 hrs per quarter

The other note if you get fired, quit, or layed off between now and the end of the year you will not get paid for your sick leave or vacaton that you have already earned. Effective 8/30/2009.

Well this really sucks, I believe the company is setting yall up for another layoff. If you think about it they want have to pay out all that vacation time if they layoff guys or gals. they can just cut them free.

I was told this morning, that an explanation letter will be mailed to your house as early as today.
