When does the new amount take effect? I used vacation last friday and it was still under old rate of pay. My guess is because the pay period started 12-29 and they are just being cheap? Even though I used vacation in January. Talking a difference of at least $17 an hour for me since I went from city to road.

When did you switch to that real job?
 
I keep hearing conflicting statements, I have been told is based on your average weekly earnings and I've been told it's just your hourly rate. Which one is it and how is it calculated?

“Real” earnings, not including sick days, pregnancy leave, bereavement leave, etc.
Basically, gross earnings for all miles or hours worked from Nov 1 to following Oct 31 divided by 2080 (52 weeks times 40 hours).
 
I believe for city drivers they average the last six months for vacation pay you should average in the mid 30 range if you worked overtime in the past year and for personal days straight hourly rate. Road should be calculated the same average of the last six months. Personal days not sure. If you just transferred to the road they might just be paying straight hourly since they cant average the last six months of road it would fall below the hourly rate.
 
I went from city to road last January. It's been $32 hr but now should be closer to 50 because I grossed $109000
Average should be higher than $32 for sure. It sounded like you just switched to road from your question. I’m impressed this is your first vacation since becoming a road driver last year. I would diffidently call payroll.

From pg3 of the vacation policy...

Paid vacation hours do not count towards the overtime pay threshold. Vacation hours for full-time hourly and mileage-compensated employees are paid at a vacation rate, where that rate is higher than the employee’s hourly rate. The vacation rate changes each calendar year and is calculated based on an employee’s eligible earnings covering a defined 12-month (52-week) period divided by 2,080 hours (40 x 52) weeks. Eligible earnings include, in part, regular hourly wages and mileage / fixed pay, pay for required training, bereavement pay, holiday pay, jury duty pay, personal/sick paid time, and vacation used. Where the vacation rate based on eligible earnings is less than the employee’s hourly rate, vacation is paid at the employee’s hourly rate. For employees entering a full-time hourly or mileagecompensated classification during the calendar year, vacation is paid at the employee’s hourly rate of pay until the following January.

Damn, someone better write down that one or more of the RCs made an error. Doesn’t happen very often.
