How much vacation can Workers Accrue?
From staff meeting minutes
September 17, 2004:
*PROPOSAL* Two year rollover for vacation times. When you quit, you can take unused vacation at the end of your time. We will revisit roll over to sick time when we are not operating at a loss.
November 19, 2004:
Vacation hours proposals - paid over 12 weeks to reduce financial burdon to FG - increase use of substitute hours, buildup a fund for paying out folks as they leave. Approved.
Policy wording
Since we can't find the actual text, here's a shot at wording that reflects what I think we decided on:
Limits on vacation accrual
- Staff members earning vacation time must take that vacation within two years of having earned it.
- Unused vacation time that exceeds that limit is lost to the staff member.
Payment to exiting staff members
- If a staff member is owed vacation time when he or she resigns, is laid off, or is otherwise terminated the amount of vacation time owed shall be calculated and reported to the staff member.
- Free Geek may take up to 12 weeks after a staff person's last working day to pay for any vacation money owed.
Goals to allow Free Geek to follow this policy
- The Free Geek staff has a goal of building up a pool of reserve money that will allow Free Geek to pay for all vacation time accrued when staff members leave, taking into account a reasonable rate of staff turnover.
- The Free Geek staff has a goal of increasing the amount of money available for the hiring of substitutes to cover staff vacation in an effort to encourage staff members to take vacation hours (and thereby limit the likelihood of staff members being owed money when they decide to leave).
