That’s about 3 weeks of vacation per year, for 20 years, if she never used any. Three weeks per year is hardly out-of-line, especially for someone who has been there for 20 years. LIkely she started at 2 weeks per year for the first 5, 3 weeks per year for the next 5, and 4 weeks per year for the next 10 years. She worked most of the time, under my rubric would have taken off for 5 weeks over the 20 years, and still had the 3100 hours left over. The idiots screwed up the hearing to remove her, they made her an offer to make it easy for them to cover up their own incompetence, and she accepted it. Seems like she was a decent worker, and was accommodating when they wanted her gone. None of this is her fault, nor is it any indication of fraud on her part.
A public sector worker, taking no vacation for 20 years. LOL. There is no way. More likely she was like the former director of the Metra here in Chicago. He had 11, that’s right 11 weeks of vacation a year. And we wonder why the states are broke. I notice your name indicates another public union leech.
My point was that if she had worked for the fedgov, she never could have accumulated that much vacation time. She would have to have taken it along the way, or lost it.
What she did was cash in her vacation hours at her career highest salary rate, hours that were largely accumulated at lower pay rates. That was certainly a good investment on her part.
She may also have earned considerable compensatory time, which she used in place of vacation hours, to make sure her payable-in-cash vacation account was never touched.
Is there any doubt why the state of Kalifornia and many of its municipalities are broke?
