I was shocked the first time I had vacation days expire without any kind of notification that I had miscalculated, and there was no payout or anything for the lost hours. I mean, the vacation days are part of the negotiated reimbursement for work. The deal is I give my time doing whatever I’m asked, and in return they give me money and time off. They shouldn’t be able to not give it to me because my napkin math was wrong.
To me it is no different than if you were paid by physical check, and if you didn’t pick up your check fast enough they threw it away and didn’t pay you. If I hadn’t already been radicalized, this would have put me over the edge.
I’m assuming that’s the US your talking, here I couldn’t save up days like anon’s super genius plan but they wouldn’t all disappear.
The most likely thing to happen would be they would just force me to take the holiday. If I started trying to do that round about this time of year they would be telling me to take a month off somewhere. If I didn’t do anything at that point they would just randomly start booking time off for me. There isn’t a way for me to stack them exactly.
Try and take holiday and they refuse the time because there isn’t capacity then they have to pay you for that time.
But there’s no system where they can just vanish your days.

That sounds nice
