    At the one year mark, does it come automatically?

    Or does it have to be requested?

    Don't know about swift, but u request vacation, u take a vacation and that weeks pay is your vacation pay. Depending on the company, if you don't take a vacation, u get paid for it at the end of the year, OR its a take it or leave it type deal

    I thought I read that swift automatically pays a one week average at the one year mark.

    It is paid as a separate check the week after your anniversary.

    If I am not mistaken, it is $400 after 1 year.
    2-4 years is $1,000 and after 5 years $1,800.
    That may be the maximum, but I'm not sure.

    You do not need to request vacation pay.
    If you want a vacation, like a very long home time, that would be requested.

    I guess it really should be called an annual bonus.

    That's really what it is. And for those reading, it is automatic.
