Central Transport | Anyone else having vacation / PTO discrepancies?

[Jacknife18]

18 Vitran employees in Detroit have been shorted either vacation or PTO pay. Anyone else having issues? A few years ago they "pro-rated" vacation time so everyone's "vacation anniversary" fell on January 1st. A bunch of us lost vacation pay that year. Now it appears that they are reverting back to your actual anniversary date to pay them out. Anyone have any idea if this is a "mistake"... or are we getting screwed yet again?

I say getting screwed

That would be my guess. I'll reserve judgment until it's definitive.

Vitran went to your anniversary date a few years ago. Look in the handbook.

The handbook has always said "after so long you get so much" but a few years ago the pro rated everyone's vacation to make the amount of time you had had in as if you started on January 1st. That's why I (and a bunch of others) lost time that year. It's a payroll trick that's used to save money for a certain year, but it can only be used once....

The fact is, the Kronos was messed up because it actually showed the time was available to all these employees. They took the time, and now they are apparently not getting paid for it. I know that I had the time coming. I keep very close track of these things... ;-)

i always checked the year to dates for both pto and vac on pay stub for easy monitoring.

EXACTLY. That IS the issue.

Sorry, Jacknife....that WAS the issue. They told you exactly what you needed to hear to get you over to the dark side. They just needed butts in the seats. You lose permanently, they gain temporarily.

Hubby just burned his last personal day (Vitran). He trains at Central tomorrow (Mon 12/2). Has 3 vac days scheduled in December on the computer. Saying a prayer it's still there once assimilated into the Borg Central Collective!
