Holiday Day Off

Management might try this line on you too... "Look at this as double time payday". As they take your entitled Holiday away.

FYI I'm in the same situation.
 
i have monday relief day, as well, and rarely get the "holiday saturday" off. straight pay for saturday, which you work every week. straight pay for the holiday, which you receive if you work or not. monday off as normal, and double mail on tuesday, just like everyone else. do you have a question about something? with a shortage of rca's, this is normal.

Just curious but are they asking you to work the holiday or mandating?

They usually ask me the Wednesday before my assigned Holiday after they realize there will be the 12hr RCAs splitting issue. I say "ask" because they know I know the rules before they have to mandate me. There was another Step 12 REG on RDWL in office too on Saturday.

Guess you could always try to say no and see how that goes but then you run the risk of coming back to a mess if you don’t have a sub. I’m so lucky that my regular asks off the day after every holiday a year in advance and his K day is Monday.

The list is only for them to work their relief day. Working their day to observe the holiday isn’t them working their relief day. I could be wrong though.

I was just wondering if someone on the RDWL would have a legit beef if they worked a holiday peep ahead of them.... I know they can't work a sub from an outside office ahead of a RDWL peep, or else they could grieve it.... not sure on the holiday peep tho... :unsure:
 
the rdwl doesn't apply to give you a holiday off. the relief day for the carrier is monday, and they are off, even though it is a holiday for everyone else. carriers with saturday do not get to choose to work, to give someone a holiday off, and management can mandate the monday relief day carrier, to work saturday, without paying a premium.

the only way to force management to use a rdwl carrier, is for the monday guy, to request vacation adjacent to the weekend., or holiday. if your asking if they can grieve not working a saturday, that a monday holiday carrier is forced to work, the answer is no. the holiday on saturday worker, is not working their relief day.

A rite of passage for an RCA. Been there done that.

I do not put in for days off after a Holiday years in advance because my parents are advanced in years who live so far away it involves a flight. One gets a visit mid March and another around Thanksgiving for about a week each in a warmer climate . Both involve a full month of AL submission a year in advance which gets narrowed down to the bookings of flights and time for a visit at a later date. I am fortunate enough to have enough AL days saved it is a struggle to burn them down to 55 after flight bookings.

Hey I actually would prefer to work the day after a holiday on my primary then anywhere else so he does me a favor. We had a regular put in 460hrs of annual to go to China. I was pretty surprised management approved it.
 
I’m thinking a “Saturday cough cough attitude adjuster” is necessary in this situation just to keep management on their toes. Don’t ever let them think they are in complete control.
