<p>[QUOTE="Pedigreed Bulldog, post: 5052854, member: 64805"]She gets 3 weeks vacation time per year. Plus sick time. Plus personal time. Then there were the holidays she used to be paid for. It all added up to quite a few more hours than the "max pto" hours she'll be allowed to accumulate under the new system. I don't have the booklet right here in front of me this second, but the new system darn near cuts her paid time off in half. If you want a paid holiday, it costs you some of your PTO hours, instead of being in addition to your allotted vacation/sick/personal pto. Don't have any pto hours left? You don't get paid. Maternity leave. Old system, you could take all of your vacation, sick, and personal time that you had available. Now, you can only use PTO until the short term disability kicks in...which is capped at 50% of your pay OR $200/week...whichever is less. You've got to exhaust that benefit before you can finish using your accrued PTO, so you'd better be able to get by on $200/week for a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>This change is a corporate thing, not just for the drivers. There may be tweaks here and adjustments there based upon different methods of compensation, but it's basically the same system being implemented. I said in my 1st post in this thread she's in the retail division...and according to the way your anniversary date is figured in the new system, she'll be treated as a 10 year employee since her 10th anniversary will occur later this year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll try to get the hard numbers from her this weekend...maybe even snap a pic or two to post of the booklet explaining some of the changes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
