Yellow | Vacation Language/ Help

When payroll said the extra week was in the bank she misled me.Its nothing we can take right now..I tried...Talked to steward..money and vacation should be straightened out by end of month.

His interpretation of language is that if you would have earned your 4th ect. week in 2018 ( with old contract ..not MOU) we will automatically get it as soon as the end of the month.That takes care of everyone with 15 years or more in 2018 for 2019.
Then back to normal for 2020...He said ( his understanding) that a man earning his 15 th year this year.WILL Not Get their 4 th week in 2019 but get it in 2020.
So..an extra 2 weeks this year is a pipe dream.

As with all things YRC, I’ll know my raise is in effect when it shows on my paystub. I’ll know I have my week back when payroll says I do. I’ll realize my retroactive pay compensation when I see it on my paystub. Until then...

Actually if you have completed your 15th Year in 2018 Yes it goes to the following anniversary witch is the 16th year witch makes it payable in 2019 anniversary (example if his or hers 15 yr anniversary was July 2018 then they would get 4 weeks earned in July 2019 you have to complete the 15 years !! Before it pays the the 4th week not at your 15 yr anniversary) and the retro pay will be paid in 30 days
 
Retro checks will be deposited separately in its entirety(minus taxes) on June 13th. It’s my understanding that if you have your check split into different accounts, this will not happen with the retro funds. Vacations should be available to those affected on, or around May 26th. That’s all the info I have, I’m not sure when the actual raises will be reflected on our paystubs.

In case some of you don’t know this about the 60% Vacation Rule; when you take your vacation under this rule let’s say right at 156 days/trips, then your vacation pay is based off the wages earned in that period. Effectively you’ll be getting 60% of what you would have had if you waited until your anniversary date, not only that, but all your vacations for that period 2-5(6)weeks will be paid exactly the same. It’s best to wait until after your anniversary date to draw a check for the priors year vacation(s) earned.

On a caveat the 2018 language is only there to define a starting point on the return of the weeks vacation, it’s moot at best, and probably has more to do with not confusing the language that ABF had in which they had to wait until their anniversary date.... ours is immediate upon final ratification.

The formula to determine pay for road is: Tours of duty divided by gross earnings of those TODs. That gives an average daily earnings. That figure is multiplied by 6 for a week of vacation. You do not lose any money by taking vacation as soon as you are eligible. From experience if you are working a bid that is 5 days a week, you actually make more. Because your vacation (except 4th, 5th and 6th weeks) is paid for 6 days.

The requirement of 60% (156 tours) applies to road. For city it is determined by hours worked. At least in the central region.

When I was working at Yellow Dallas we went by hours since I’ve worked for YRC 511 156 days does the trick YMMV

Edit: I don’t know anything about the way the road does there’s

I occasionally run into Canada where they use metric days. How do I count them for vacation time? :hide:

After the 7th full moon you know your vacation has kicked in but Every Blue Moon it throws HR out of wack and personnel may add or delete a day depending on their calculations (without a calculator)

In Chicago Heights (309) it is 156 tours of duty. Not calendar days, and days lost due to sick or injured count as tours to earn vacation. But not against the "average daily earnings".

Yea everybody seems to have a different type of vacation schedule and formulas man I’m glad I’m in the west !!!Out her in the west for p&d goes annual salary (anniversary to anniversary) if you grossed say $80,000 it would divide by 52 weeks $80,000 /52 =$1538.46 weekly /$307.69 daily

This sounds like those that earned 4th week and above in 2018 will be paid in 2019 for it.
Are we going to get our 2019 vacation earnings also.In other words it sounds like we are going to get 2018 and 2019 to me.
If you are due a one week increase in vacation pay you get that new week on your anniversary day, effective that day. Also, counting your anniversary day as day one, you proceed to earn the 60% (188 days, or 187 + the day of your anniversary) necessary to earn your full # of weeks (sick pay, holidays, or any day you were paid counts)
You get two extra weeks that year, each week for a different reason
This is the same as it always has been. You worked the years? -- You earned the new week the moment that year is over.
You also earn all weeks awarded (including the new week) at 188 days.

Actually I don't think there's any way we are going to get an extra week,it's just very vague,ambiguous language.

If you had 4+ weeks vacation, you lost one, you will get it back when the 30 day retro pay occurs, not paid for it, back in the till to use or cash out

The question is, for example: if your 16th anniversary was in may of 2018 you are due that 4th week in 2019....I got that..What about May of 2019?

In a nut shell...I’m told we wouldn’t be getting the 2018 and 2019 together.
A 17 year man with anniversary date in May isn’t going to get 5 weeks in 2019 just because he would have earned his 4 th week in 2018 and 2019.
The language is vague.Im not counting on it..Time will tell.

I earned my 2018 vacation in April 2018 and actually used all of it in 2018. New agreement say I get a week added to 2018
I earned my 2019 vacation after April 1st 2019 and reloaded my vacations with no reduction!
