'Lessons'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Haven't quite worked up to that. Can I call and ask on behalf of a friend? Will they make me spill information?
I wouldn't think that you have to give them any information. Just call and ask if there is a law or regulation against requiring employees use vacation days on a holiday when they are required not to come to work.
eta: or, if you find me the number, I'll call.
the building is on lock-down, and no one, not even employees can get in or out.
There have been laws against that since the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Were these people raised by wolves?

SERIOUSLY
Yay! Not the only one who immediately went "TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE." My inner socio-economic history geek is vindicated. Okay, maybe it's not very inner.

Really? Here's the site with the #. It looks like the right dept...
I'm sorry for so eagerly taking you up on your offer, I am a phone wuss.
Vortex has been chomping to make a lawerly phone call for one of us for awhile now.
I wouldn't say chomping but i'm a little hurt that no one has taken me up on it.
I will always take a lawyer up on an offer to talk lawyerly to someone so I don't have to.
Better morning this morning. Even woke up in time for "die, you bastard, die!" on Homicide reruns. I find that funny enough I should have been murder police.(My mother also listed it as her top TV moment...) And Kay sees a ghost. Good times. I should write another Howard/AtS fic, huh?ETA: One of these days, Vortex.
1) They HAVE to take off holidays but they HAVE to use their vacation time to do so.
How can that be legal? I don't think it is.
Nora, probably they didn't do a good job of explaining this. When I first worked for MGH, we had different kinds of time: Vacation, sick time, scheduled holidays, floating holidays, personal days.
After a few years, they revamped the whole shebang. They took away all those kinds of leave, and we just had one type of time: Earned time.
We earned (something like) 2.5 hours per week, and then that time was deducted any time we were off, be it sick, vacation or (scheduled) holidays.
If you were never sick, it was cool, because you could take what amounted to extra vacation. If you were sick with a lengthy illness, it was cool, because you could dip into your vacation time.
The holidays got deducted from the earned time, but they were figured into how much we earned per week, in the first place.
