DOT holiday time off

[Spaceforce]

My Supervisor says it doesn't apply to us.

It does apply to all DOT employees. Have your facrep/area rep get involved by calling the RVP. The RVP should know and if they don’t, they will contact the GM of the district and ask them. If leave is available, admin leave is approvable.

you can’t use in conjunction with other types of leave. You have to be in work status prior to the admin leave.

Yeah I was gonna say if you put an annual before that day they will approve your annual and you won’t get any of the “secretary Pete leave” or whatever it’s called. In our facility it’s basically first comes first goes to try to make it fair for everyone. So the guy that showed up last to the shift and requested his time off first doesn’t get to go home first. We actually aren’t required to put in any kind of request.

I told my facrep and he is looking into it. It's been an hour now of me kind of just sitting here in a holding pattern...

It also doesnt have to be 3 hours either, you can have it be just 30 mins of admin. it says "UP TO 3 HOURS" so good luck!

 

[WhoIs???]

Our facility does it via seniority. So the most senior person on a shift always gets it. Sucks to suck I guess.

My facility releases all the people they can. Everyone usually gets something as we have a bit of an overlap between all the crews. Some people get the whole amount.

My facility says it is only for non essential people despite the fact that I've read the emails and told them that is not the case...

I request excused leave as soon as the email from the secretary comes out. I reference the reason in the remarks. If leave is available it's approved.

Hey me too. Our GM just doesn't care.

Hey me too. Our GM just doesn't care.

Because he’s already gone home for the long weekend ?

 

[ClearanceClarence]

If only we don’t have a union that raked in millions in dues to fight to ensure things like this were executed fairly across the workforce.

They’re on a 4 day weekend what do you expect them to do?

RVP doesn’t deal with the GM. RVP deals with the service area director.

ARVP deals with the GM.

Shit never gets approved. Speaking of, did he put out guidance yet? I put in my request months ago just in case

Worth a grievance to find out. Purely my opinion, but:

Slate Book Article 29 Section 12 says you're eligible for EA outside of what is explicitly outlined. The exception listed in the DOT notification is for "mission-critical" employees and pertains to emergency situations ONLY (HRPM EMS-11.5). So unless an employee's absence creates an emergency situation (staffing level), excused absences should be permitted.

But that's just this idiot's take on the subject. And this idiot will be leaving 3 hours early tomorrow.

If you're already going to be on leave, do/can you get those 3ish hours back as EA or are you hosed?
