I need some employment advice gulpers
i am about to quit a union job. the union contract states that they do not owe you for any unused vacation (for less than 1 year tenure, which i am still). also, i have heard when you give 2 weeks notice, that's it, they walk you out as it's a secure facility.
so, if i do the "right thing" and give 2 weeks notice, they tell me to walk out the door and they screw me out of my unused vacation, which amounts to well over $1,000 (they screw me).
instead, i have scheduled all my vacation and plan on giving them 3 days notice that i'm gone (i screw them).

anyone see any other way this could be handled? i would like to give 2 weeks notice, but imo this is one of the many reasons unions suck...whatever is in writing goes, so even if the employer is cool and wanted to let you take your remaining vacation on your last days, they cannot.

If they really walk you out the moment you give notice, then 3 days is plenty but only if you tell them why you are giving them short notice.
You might change the culture.

Re: I need some employment advice gulpers
i have a better job lined up, and i don't plan to ever return to this employer that i'm leaving, but i feel bad for giving such short notice, but the way i look at it....it's not worth the risk of them screwing me out of my unused vacation to do the "right thing".

They aren't obligated to pay out unused vacation time?

If they immediately walk you out then give them 2 weeks notice.
Try get a letter of reference(whether you need it or not, get it anyways if you can)
So, take your holidays, then when you come back give them 2 weeks, get letter of ref., then let them walk you to the door

Don't come back from vacation and don't quit. See how long they keep sending checks.

Offer your boss 200/week to keep paing you.

Re: I need some employment advice gulpers
If you give two weeks notice and they walk you out the door go to the unemployment office. There's laws even with union jobs and this is one that screws over shitty additude employers. Unless they can prove gross negligence they will have, to pay you for those two weeks. It's law.

Re: I need some employment advice gulpers
So you think that after you return from your vacation and then give them 3 days notice they will not alter your check? Apparently you don't want to use them as a reference ever. You also don't want a job with this union ever again. If you think unions suck go find a job in a right to work state.

Re: I need some employment advice gulpers
I used to work at the head office of a wallpaper place in England about 35 years ago. Anyway, they began noticing that contract sales, taken by the call centre in London, kept falling for Scotland. After a couple of months they tried calling the sales showroom but all they got was the recorded message saying that they were busy.

Finally, the owner and managing director drove up to Scotland to discover a note on the door saying that the keys were at the Police Station. It transpired that their primary competitor had gone into the showroom, offered everyone there, including the showroom manager, a fat payout to just walk out and join them and they had locked up the showroom and gone to work for the competitor FOUR MONTHS previously. And, since they were paid on commission, they had continued to be paid tens of thousands on existing contracts over that time. (The Managing Director found the three resignation letters on the showroom manager's desk when he finally gained entry).
