RDWL

[Voglio-il mio]

I'm on the rdwl. Worked my relief day Saturday and wanted to use an x day on the 30th. Was told no. Had to take a 5 that even tho it falls within the same pay period it is outside the Xmas guarantee period. What say you? Anyone?

Nice, I love it, good question!

It could be used in the 2nd week but it is at mgmt discretion no matter the time of year.

According to the pm, who spoke to a mucky muck in district, we are not allowed to use the x day in the second week because the guarantee period is ended

Question.

If a carrier puts in for, and has approved leave, either sick or annual, and then they accrue an X day, can they force manglement to use that X day before taking annual or sick leave from the carrier?

No national interpretive.

nope. Some mgmt are willing to allow such but there is no way to force it. Scheduling X-Days are at mgmt discretion & (except during Christmas OT Period) they are required to give a minimum of 3-days notice.
BUT… sometimes you can reason with mgmt to allow switching an AL/SL for that X to save mgmt time & the issues of trying to get it scheduled or paid out.

As I mentioned earlier I tend to agree.

I’m seeing where “scheduled at Manglement’s discretion” is turning into not scheduled at all. Then 12 weeks pass and the carrier gets paid the 100%. All that seems to be is stealing the carrier’s wages for 12 weeks then paying them through adjustments or grievances which delay it even further.
