      I’ve been arguing with my HR department for 13 years. How can I accrue vacation each week, use my vacation in the same year I earn it? If my last earned vacation doesn’t stay until the last period expires I December, I can’t use my vacation…

      It’s frustrating trying to explain the rules to them and not understand.

      Much like that old clip about someone trying to explain their data charges to the ISP customer service rep

        my company created the rule that if you didn’t use the year’s accrued vacation, come jan 1 of the following year it went away. no stacking

          You should accrue vacation this year, for next year. Starting Jan 1, hire date, or whatever year end/beginning is chosen. Then you should have the entirety to take during that second year on Jan 1.

          My company seems to think that when I accrue my vacation on December 31 I should have used it already

            shoulda/coulda/woulda is not part of my company’s policy. its either do or do not. do not and you never will

          Lots of companies have use it or lose it policies. I have been working about 40 years and I have never been able to bank paid time off from year to year.
