Oh yes, I have tons of vacation time and little opportunity to use it. Can only roll over so many hours too. Won't just pay it out. We got into a bit of a scuffle with it last fall because we really can only have one person gone at a time. 3 months before my rollover date, we had someone just not show up anymore. Took 2 months to replace them and then someone else come in and say, I know you said I couldn't have this time off but now I have plane tickets so I'm going to have to have it off. That put it down to the wire and I flat out told my boss I'm not losing 15 hours of vacation because it's not my fault I can't take it. We had a go 'round with corporate to get some of it paid out.
I can see we're heading in that direction again because I still have no backup for what I do. I need to start that conversation now with my boss. I want to be able to take more time off and then I am gone the first week of July no matter what. And I told her that last July and we've still not addressed it.
