#vacation

Question 1 - Is there the option to defer severance to the next calendar year? Question 2 - Is remaining vacation paid with normal paycheck or with the severance?

A significant chunk of the team is gone and seems like a common pattern is that they took a healthy amount of PTO in general. A colleague also barely took PTO but was recently forced by their manager to take leaves and maintain good balance and they did, and were laid off now. Almost all of them took a long time off summer.

Any similar pattern in your teams? Feeling worried and more hesitant to take PTO now after this. Was planning a visit to see family but thinking of cancelling it now.

Sell your stocks and take some rests for a nice vacation. Let LBT do your works

First thank you to this community for all the early info & giving me the confidence that I wasn’t alone in feeling this way.

9 year g-n who interned and hired on. The company has changed and I’ve finally had enough.

Couple questions for this board:

• what vacation is payed out? Should I take all my comp & carryover?
• is there a practical way to negotiate the annual compensation value of the pension with new company? Pension tool not helpful
• print out any important health documents
  Any other tips?

Also, for those wanting to leave… yes it’s not the post covid market, but there are companies looking for talented employees. If you are here you are talented and will be valued elsewhere.

Assuming we get notified 7/27 and that most people's end date is 9/4, that only gives 5 weeks for everyone to use up vacation and personal time. They don't want us taking PTO within 2 weeks of separation, so all vacation has to be used by 8/21. I don't know about everyone else, but I've got 16 days of vacation/sick time to burn, and I'm not the only one in my department who has admitted to applying for the VSP. If we all get accepted with the default exit date, my team will be running at 40% capacity. It will be a good preview of the sh-t show that they are about to walk into.

Hello from the otherside. Just wanted to reach out to y'all and see what kind of rumors and info we can swap.

Big thing for us this last week was our 3% automatic retirement contribution was canceled, and now all vacation time has to be used up by 12/31 every year or you lose it. No vacation time rollovers.

The rumor behind the vacation change, is that there will be big layoffs in Q1 2027, and this way they don't have to pay out the accumulated time.

Severance here (from a round in 2025) was 2 weeks per year of service, unclear on upper end caps and 1 month of benefits.

What are you hearing on your end?

RAP going away sounds like generic cost cutting to me. But losing all of your vacation at the end of the calendar year just means it’s far cheaper to lay people off in Q1 2027.

Are people taking time off this summer? Or will they take that against us for the next go-round?

I go on vacation tomorrow and my manager wanted to make sure I had my phone with me. "Why? More layoffs", I asked.

She confirmed yes. I told her if I'm hit, just call me in Japan and rip the band aid off.

Happy vacation to me!

If we suspect that we will be RIFd can we use up our future vacation? Would it be deducted from our final pay or have to pay back?

I may have used up all of mine for a nice long trip earlier this year. LMAO definitely don’t realize we’d be here looking at VSP and RIFd.

If you are in Minneapolis, make sure you use your vacation time before you quit. They apparently don’t pay out unused vacation anymore for several states that allow it? Just learned from my friend that got out and lost a week.

With the talk of upcoming layoffs happening on 7/16, how sure are we that retail will be affected? Like 60/40? 80/20? 100? I'll be on vacation for that day so I'm just curious if I'll be coming back to the news lol

why does dan and the board allow special advisor hans vestberg to post his vacation pictures golfing in sweden and attending the world cup?

Can any managers chime in on handing in resignation with prescheduled PTO? Do they just say you're done and don't bother coming back after your vacation?

What if its the summer equinox after the mid year election on a Tues and I’m on vacation leave. If they send out a notice on a Wednesday before that Tues. how am I affected? Do I get extra pay or am I penalized? I’ve read the handbook and I don’t see a section that covers this.

Does anyone know, if you take all your vacation for the year and then get laid off, do you have to pay back the part you haven't accrued yet?

How does such a scenario calc?! My laptop will ping to the network but I have 4 hours vaca time in workday. I’m guessing this is a double positive for “workable” days and days in office % but looking for confirmation.

If I take one day of vacation, does that count as an office day?

Just heard that Verizon is reducing vacation accrual caps to 125% from 150%? Is this legal in California?

Max cap being cut from 150% to 125% so they can take that off the balance sheet and not have to pay out that additional time when we're all RIFd.

By 'final paycheck', I mean the check that comes a few weeks after your termination date and includes reimbursement for accrued unused vacation time (or, in the case of over 65s, all unused vacation days til the end of the year). Were any medical or 401k deductions taken out of the vacation pay?

Just wondering: I remember an old coworker asking and I don't recall the answer. Do we get our 5 weeks vacation in the 2nd year of our 104 weeks termination pay? I cannot find the answer in our Leg T CWA contract. Also, I wonder if I can call in sick in the 103rd week of payout and then go on paid disability for 6 months. Would I need to file FMLA? Am I entitled to any more entitlements?

He-l, use up your vacation while you're at your new job!

I’m thinking about leaving Verizon voluntarily on my own terms. Does PTO get paid out? Not personal time or sick days just the PTO hours?

Where is everyone? I thought we were all 5x8 RTO. Maybe all took vacation.

Any folks experienced the process of being impacted while on vacation? How would you know?

With the coming layoffs can we share what severance package is offered? Do you keep health insurance? What happens to accumulated vacation?

Thanks!

When I resign I understand I need to first be sure to take my carryover and personal days and then vacation will be paid out. Is that correct? Not sure where to find this info.

Due to the new Formula, you will have to come in extra days if you have Vacation and Sick time if you want to hit the 60%.

Does anyone know when the June inventory is for cosmetics? It’s been late June for many years but sometimes it’s in July. Just curious if anyone had the date so I can plan my vacation accordingly.
Thanks

What’s your favorite place to vacation? Your favorite island? Your favorite beach?

If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?

Anyone have any favorite hotel chain they like to stay at when traveling?

Random question: If I leave and am paid out for a few weeks of vacation, do I pay social security taxes on that or only income tax?

I’m trying to estimate what my payout would be.

For those who left Ford voluntarily, how was the vacation days processed when you leave? If you have earned vacation days that were not used, did you get paid for those days in your last paycheck? If I use up all my vacation days will those days be deducted from my last paycheck? Did you have a meeting with HR such as exit interview right before you leave?

I got laid off in Jan and still have not received my severnace and vacation. I reached out to Hr but not received a response. Anyone I can reach out to? How hard is it to pay someone after 60 day notice, its not like my end date was a suprise to anyone.

Or will my manager call me on my cellphone? Or will he wait until I come back?

Was today’s payment for vacation or was that the special payment? I know we will receive a stub in the next couple of days via mail but curious if anyone knows now

Is there anyone from HR who thought through this policy and impact on vacation.
Band 5 - you take Thursday/ Friday off - that week counts against you
Band 3. -4/1 posture - you basically are never taking vacation that is less than a full week. Let’s say you have 2 days sick and then 2 days vacation in the same reporting period, you can not miss another single day - vacation or not.
I know they want us to quit, but layoffs would be more humane and effective instead of making everyone miserable.

As I found out just today, I cannot submit vacation from 1st of May because of One Dell.
What kind of company is this that I cannot submit my vacation which is my right per our country labour code?
Is this applied across while Dell?
