So our company just switched to a new payroll system for next year. As part of that launch, this comment was made:
"For 2016, the final paydate of the year will be on 12/23, for pay between 12/4 and 12/17. The pay period starting on 12/18 and ending on 12/31 will be paid on 1/6/2017, so vacation taken during that pay period will be considered 2017 vacation time. For vacation time to “count” in 2016, it must be taken no later than 12/17/16."
I should add that we are allowed one week of vacation carryover...so in theory I could carry over a week of 2016 time to use for the holidays in 2016 :(
This makes absolutely no sense to me at all, but before I go completely insane, I'm curious if anyone else has HR guidelines like these around their vacation time?
