I was told that after 1500 hours working with the agency, I got one week's paid vacation. I'm due to hit 1500 hours in early August. On the online self-service site, I discovered that I'm showing 15.75 (note the decimal). So I called the national self-service group. Nope. No luck. You have to do 1500 hours in a service year. My service year reset on June 22nd. Now I had asked my contact about that and why my hours were missing off the website. He said he didn't know and would have to check into it. That was three weeks ago. I found out on my own from the national group.
I called him...and his advice was to check my employee handbook AND GET BACK TO HIM! What the hell? He's supposed to be there working for me and and being my point of contact betweeen where I work and myself? He doesn't get back to me on things, I've had to track him down several times.
I sent an e-mail to my director here on-site at my job to explain to her what is going on so that she knows why I may be leaving my agency. I don't want to lose this job, I love it really. I am just sick of dealing with the crap from my staffing agency. I'm *ANGRY*. I am having a rough time even being nice to people on the phone. I just want to scream and throw things.
I made sure that I would be eligible for vacation time at the end of August and that I would be getting paid for it. My contact confirmed that if I had 1500 hours worked, I'd be eligible for paid vacation. The same type of shit happened with holiday pay. You have to have worked 1000 hours and work the scheduled day before and after the holiday to get paid for it. Easy enough. Oh no. It's 1000 hours in the last 26 weeks. So I didn't get holiday pay for the 4th of July. I don't get my paid vacation.
So yeah, I'm about >< close to telling my agency where to get off. I love where I work but I am beginning to loathe the agency I work for...
*deep cleansing breath* It's a great day today...repeat until delusional.

My job out at Boeing I did enjoy, I just despised my contract company. They refused to offer me health insurance, ultimately forcing me to leave before my COBRA ran out...
My employers (not the consulting company) were very understanding and knew what it meant.
Of course, the person who replaced me was from the same company as I... and he had health insurance. :P (And he was hired AFTER me, so I guess they DID offer it, just not to me. Wouldn't be surprising if the reasoning was because I was overweight.)
*HUG* Sorry you have to deal with this from them dude.
Sorry to hear thing are sucking like that. That's the problem with Temp agencys sometimes. We had a tech support position open at my company that I was going to tell you about, but they filled it internally 48 hours after it was posted. I hope things are going better for you this week.
I wish I could say that...
My roommate sat me down last night. He told me that he hates Minnesota and that by the end of September , he will be back home in North Carolina.
This lurches me with a full lease and utilities. I can *barely* do it. I'll be cancelling cable TV and a few other things to make this happen, if I can.
I may be moving to Alabama with my dad and step-mom for a while at this point.
Wow, When it hits the fan, it really hits the fan with you. Too bad I can't get rid of one of my roomies, you'd probably be more fun then the drunks I live with. I can't do a whole lot from up here for you but I'm sending positive thoughts that the powers that be provide you with a good solution to these issues.
