Not as an RCA. If something is going on preventing you from working, look into FMLA. If you're just trying to take a day here and there to save leave then you should be fine. Before going regular I took a couple lwop days so I could save my annual for later. They are worth more money for me as a regular and days are limited to gain. I'm trying to roll as much as possible to have paid time off if I need to because of unexpected emergencies or health issues. I only get 13 annual days for now and have 16.5 left. I plan to roll 7 to 10 into next year for annual. I'm building my sick leave too.

newbieABC -- " I have a question about LWOP. I'm aux carrier in a small office. Is there any limit or disadvantages when I take LWOP? Our office has RCA to cover my route. "
-- As an AUX, about the only disadvantage will be not earning annual and sick leave while taking LWOP.
-- Taking / needing extensive LWOP as a regular CAN have effects on earing annual and sick leave and even delaying a step increase.
-- If no one in the office kept the August 2015 issue of the national magazine ( LWOP was covered in the Question Box section ), should be available in the archive section for magazines at the NRCLA web site -- provided you are a NRLCA member.
