Might have to cancel trip

[joandegennaro]

I am renting point from a co-worker and are booked into OKW for March 14th/10. I might have to cancel trip as I have been off work with an injury and was just told by supervisor if I don't return next week my vacation time might not be approved I understand that points are put in a hold if within 31 days of check-in. What are my options. I am currently 63 days out. I should know if vacation is approved or declined before the 31 day window. I could plan to go in Sept for our 20th wedding anniversary instead if this would be within my options.

TIA for any and all help!

Go anyway, the vacation funds are yours, not the company's, they have to pay you for it.

You could run into problems with going on an unapproved vacation, but those issues will not be related to loosing the funds that are yours. If the injury is serious enough that you are off work, they can not do anything to stop payment to you for your vacation time.

Me thinks your supervisor is not very well informed, or is just trying to pressure you back to work. If you are unionized, call your local rep and find out.

Some of it will depend on the use year of the points used for the reservation. Talk to your coworker about what the options might be. If they were my points I would lose them since I would be at the end of my use year and the banking window has passed. She might be in a different position.

She has a few contracts and wasn't sure about this one's UY. She is looking into it for me. Just waiting to hear. Still hoping that I get the vacation approved as I've been planning this since last April. Just hoping that she is just trying to get me back to work ASAP. I would love to be back as I'm not getting paid I wasn't told till about 2 weeks in that rib was in fact broken...hoped that I would heal quickly and would be back just after the New Year. That didn't happen...now I'm about 5 weeks in and still no pay. Had I known how long this was going to take I probably would have claimed sick pay from EI.
