Vacation hours??? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Ginja_Ninja8
Does anyone know exactly the policy for using vacation hours? I tried to use my vacay hours on my last paycheck, but my manager “forgot” to talk to me about it before the pay period ended and said that since I worked almost 40hrs (38) the week I wrote in 12hrs of vacay for (1st week of pay period), he couldn’t put that much in. However, I was under the impression that it was per paycheck and since I worked 30 the 2nd week of the paycheck period, it should average out to be 40hrs a week…. All I saw online is that you can’t “advance” vacation hours, however it’s not really advancing them if we don’t get paid weekly right? Like it would all be on the same paycheck…
The partner contact center is closed on the weekends so I’m just trying to get some insight!

Those are earned hours. You can use them whenever you want to boost your hours. The question is a bit confusing for me, honestly. If you wrote them in the book, your manager needs to add your vacation time.

Ok that’s the impression I had too, but I wrote the vacation hours in for a week that I worked 38 hrs and he said I can’t put in vacation hours that would exceed 40hrs for the week…. Even though for the pay period (2wks) I would not have gone over 80hrs. So I’m just confused because I’ve never had a problem with that with past managers…

They absolutely can. It won't equate to ot, you'll just get the regular hourly pay. I've been a sm for over a decade and have never heard that.

So for example, could I have worked 40 hrs both weeks and still requested vacation hours?

Yep, as far as I'm aware. I've been able to process payroll for a partner that needed to pay a bill on collections and they had massive amounts of vacation. We used some.
