| I doubt it, groups usually set their own policy. Since so many people
are being forced to deal with the issue, our group has posted a
vacation planning calendar. When you ask your manager for vacation
time, a "P" goes on the calendar. When it's approved in staff meeting,
it's replaced with an "A". Simple, and to the point.

| 3864.2 | Is your management planning for this vacation time | PCBUOA::SWANEY | Hellooooo Newman! | Wed May 10 1995 15:29 | 16 |

I Just heard of a group mananger who brought his employees into a
meeting with an HR person and said to them "You'll take one week
of vacation in December so start using the rest up now...." I know
it sounds harsh but the people he was working for him are pretty critical
to special programs and systems and most are atleast 5-20year DEC
veterans and if they all had to start using up there vacation in the
last part of the year he'd be in a heap of trouble ..... so I guess he
was just covering his *ss... But for those MGR's that don't plan this
thing out I can see some problems with resources come the holiday
season!
just my 2 sense

| I thought that 6 weeks(?) advance notice is required if an employee
is scheduling more than two consecutive weeks off.
This is what I recall from a coworker's comments a few years
back. I have not checked the P&P manual to confirm..

My 2$ worth now.............
Over here at SQF (6 weeks until we're MOTOROLA) we just have to give
1 weeks notice to have 1,2,3 etc etc week/weeks off........
after all they are your holidays,so you are entitled to take them
when you want......

| A good rule of thumb is to ask in advance equal to the number of days
off you're requesting. So for a day off, ask a day in advance; a week
off, ask a week in advance; etc.
While vacation time does 'belong' to the employee, it is taken 'with
management approval'. Some managers hold a tighter rein on what they'd
approve. It probably depends in large part what type of job you have
and it's importance to the rest of the organization.

| Wow! What a group, Mike. The P&P manual says something like "with
supervisory approval." So groups are free to implement policies that
make sense for them. Some segments of the business require a great
deal of advance notice, as Mike's apparently does.
Our manager simply asked us to give him vacation plans for the
remainder of this year, so he could adequately plan workloads during
the "use up your vacation overstock" period!

You have to be down to 5 weeks' accrual [200 hours] by January.
If not, you don't lose the extra time, but you won't accrue any
until you've gone below the limit.

You have to be BELOW 200 hours in order to keeping accruing
more vacation time. So plan ahead properly before you give
free time to the company that you won't get paid for. Rest
up well with your vacation time. If you have exactly 200
hours on 1 Jan 1996, then you will stay there until you spend
part of it!

| 3864.12 | here's a mixed metaphor.. | TEKVAX::KOPEC | we're gonna need another Timmy! | Mon May 22 1995 16:05 | 9 |
| The key point to remember is that 200hours is the ceiling. So, if you
cross one of the boundaries into the next level of vacation accrual
(e.g me, hitting ten years in January) you need to make sure you leave
room at the top of the bucket for that extra vacation time that you get
as a lump..
or it spills on the floor.

| If you are planning a vacation, some airlines are offering good
deals right now. Limited time offer, limited number of seats
available, ... you know. Call the airlines for details.
