Forced to buy vacation for Covid-19

Salaried professional

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaried employees only the ones treated this way. Hourly employees: given 2 weeks extra vacation for Covid-19

Cons

Only for salaried employees; We are forced to use all of our vacation for Covid-19. Don’t have enough, then required to buy it more. They will not allow unemployment until you pay for 1 week of vacation (take a cash loan) and have an additional 1 week of negative balance of vacation. Not given extra vacation like hourlies.

Hello. During these unprecedented times, the safety of our associates and business continuity are priorities. Vacation purchase and negative balance are optional, not required. Exempt associates in Anderson may collect unemployment after reaching zero hours of vacation time when lack of work status continues. We realize sometimes these decisions can adversely affect associates. Please talk to your HR business partner if further clarification is needed.

Pros

Opportunities with growing portions of the organization are well funded and comfortable. There is a large amount of regulation to deal with due to the size of the company but for the most part there are good ideas being made into realities.

Cons

Tough to keep talent, new culture of software development means that company is still figuring out how to support developers as it pivots into that area from engineering
