NJA, and Excused Absence, No Work - Has this changed?

Posted: Mar 04, 2015

Our TSM has sent a couple mass e-mails saying anyone who wanted to use this option of Excused Absence - No Work would be allowed to do so on certain days when it was offered. If we do this, are those hours subtracted from our 104 hours of Excused Absence - No Pay that we are allowed yearly? I recall using Excused Absence - No Work last year, and it was not subtracted from our 104 hours. Has this changed?

I think that is the way it is supposed to work-sm - cheated

I also had used some last year and it was not subtracted, which made no difference to me and it cant be carried over and we all started back at 104 for this year.

What I cant figure out is why it is "allowed" on certain days they deem acceptable. lol. No work is no work IMO. They are so back and forth on this. First stating that it was mainly for holidays when there was more likely a chance it could not be made up and then this past Christmas and New Year we got an email stating we couldnt use it because there was "late" work at some point during the week. Give me a break!!

I'm at my wits end and so stressed out with all this NJA crud, struggling to pay bills, never knowing how much money I'll make from check to check, and wondering how long I'll even have a job. I've decided to take a personal LOA to try to pull it together and destress. I sent my CCM an email about doing it and why a couple of weeks ago. I've already put in for it at Hartford and they too sent CCM an email about it. However, CCM has never gotten back to me yet a ...

I was "terminated" after within 1 week of my company-approved (FMLA) leave of absence. The excuse they used was that my company "could not accommodate" a leave of absence for the extended period of time that I would be out of work. I needed the extended leave of absence because I had CMC arthroplasty with pin placement. My surgeon gave me a written note that stated I would be in a hand cast for 6 weeks followed by 6 weeks of physical therapy, and he would not ...
