    Where I am employed the only way to collect vacation pay is taking time off otherwise there are people who would never take holidays. One fellow saved vacation pay for 15 years, big chunk of change was coming to him the afternoon he keeled over dead in truck from a stroke.

    A strong contestant for "Perfect Employee".

    Perfect would have been he delivered his last load, turned in the truck and all equipment, and removed himself from company property before he dropped dead.

    No liability or expense to the mighty company that way.

    Where I am at I don’t get vacation. I get 4 or 5 days off a month paid at about half of what I’d earn if I was doing a route. But we are also “on call” so we will see how often they let me home.
