Switching Annual Leave to Credit

[mcubed820]

Once your annual leave has been approved for a day on a posted schedule, are you able to automatically put in a request to use credit instead for that day and not worry about it getting denied/change others requests priority? Or should you wait until basically the day of to request the credit for that day because it could change leave requests priority, etc. I’ve heard different things around my facility regarding this.

I feel like once the leave is approved, what does it matter if you want to change it to credit or not? If the leave is already approved, it’s approved.

You can change your approved annual to credit and not have to get back in line, EXCEPT for your prime time bid leave.

Article 34 Section 10 CBA says that^ Just so you have a source to fight with, if you need it.

Or you can wait until you have the CIC and go into the ART and edit your shift.

Or if you have a good relationship with your MPA you can go to them after the fact and ask them to show you on credit for that day.

This is the best and simplest solution. Just don't do it for the first two weeks of leave you bid, that could be a bridge too far then they might try to shut this down across the board.

If requesting spot leave and you have no credit but anticipating to get some before that day, just request credit leave instead of annual. It doesn't matter to a supervisor what kind of leave you are taking. And if that day comes around and you have no credit, HR will just charge you annual. If it's bid leave, then it's different.

Yah. No sup checks to even see if you have leave available when you request it. I’m not sure if they even can

They can definitely see your leave balances. I’ve had them comment on my amount of credit leave before.

Really? What a weird sup. I feel like they’d only get involved if payroll says you keep taking leave you don’t have

I hope I'm not the only one looking forward to buying back thier 12 minutes of annual leave at the end of their career!!!

I switch my Annual to credit all the time. I request annual months in advance and then I make sure I accrue credit to cover it before the day comes and tell my sup to switch it. Just can’t be used for prime time. But talk to CI he’ll take care of it for you. Your don’t need to do anything other than tell a supervisor.

Rahhhger. I talked to facrep last night who agreed and said it was something in the past with our old ATM and that’s why some people are still under the assumption you go to the back of the line if u try to switch it. So much cheese with that guy

This is the way. Except for one thing, you can’t request annual if you don’t or won’t have at the leave in excess of what you will earn. That’s in the contract. We had a guy do this, and people got pissed when they found out
