FAQ
Does this give me the exact number of days I can take for my vacation?
No. This is an estimate based on your regularly scheduled shifts and does not account for missed shifts (e.g., illness) or extra shifts picked up.
What if I am casual?
Casual workers do not accrue vacation and are paid in lieu of benefits.
How close is the estimate?
It depends. Factors like wage rate increases or carried-over vacation banks can affect accuracy. If the “Available Vacation Hours” matches exactly (e.g., 22 hours for 2 shifts), you might be slightly short.
I am going into my X year of continuous service. Doesn’t that mean I accrue more vacation?
The calculator uses your current vacation accrual percentage, which remains the same until July 1. If your vacation is scheduled after July 1, you may accrue at a higher rate after that date.
