Superior’s current policy of seven vacation days and five sick days a year for the employees is not ideal for emergencies and for an unscheduled occurrence that may require the employee to take a day off. The policy, as written right now, does not give Joan Jackson enough time to properly staff the areas when an employee calls the morning of shift and states he/ she cannot make it to work today. Right now, employees are using sick days to whatever his/ her need is that day, which is more than likely not in regards to the employee being sick. When an employee calls off the morning of work, without any prior knowledge, it will affect the entire company and will make it hard to cover that shift. Also, if more than one employee of that same

b. If an employee is "maintained on the payroll" for any part of a week, that week counts as a week of employment, and 52 such weeks are deemed to equal 12 months. No actual work in the week is required.

Recent changes to the High Year Tenure (HYT) waiver process timeline at the E6-E8 level for fiscal year 2016 are too short. This change has caused extremely compressed timelines for members to make the necessary preparations after they have been identified for mandatory retirement. It has also led to uncertainty months into the assignment year for units with HYT candidates. The Coast Guard needs to expand the E6-E8 HYT waiver timeline to align with the E3-E5 HYT waiver timeline.

Hours- EE agrees to work a 60-hour regular workweek (Monday—Friday) and is able to make up the time throughout the week, including Saturdays, however EE is able. Hours worked on Saturdays will be deducted from the following workweek if EE works over a 60-hour workweek.

With the Coast Guard’s High Year Tenure (HYT) policy, Career Retention Screening Panel (CRSP), and the reduction of recruits going through boot camp Air Station Atlantic City is currently seeing out of its 132 available billets, 12 E-7 and above, 16 Aviation Survivalist Technicians, 6 retirements from HYT, 3 civilian jobs currently being filled by Coast Guard personnel, and additionally 17 billets are currently not filled. This brings CGAS Atlantic City Enlisted Aviation Engineering personnel (that are able to go to the NCRADF) to 71 personnel. These available personnel cover the Area of Operations (AOR) with two Bravo Ready crews and go to NCRADF. The empty PAL vacancies, as well as the NCRADF, were not thought of when Brooklyn Air Station and Cape May Air Station were merged to create CGAS Atlantic City. Such a shortage of personnel has led to a myriad of personnel going to the NCRADF on back to back deployment. Each deployment they are away from their families is for 21 days and after a four

On Monday, March 7, 2016 at about 1323 hours while present at group 31 office I reviewed the 3rd platoon roll call for August 2, 2014. The following information was disclosed;

Some of them might be working on a day off because a Soldier made an appointment with them. That right there cost the Army money that would have otherwise been saved. Now that the Soldier missed the appointment they caused the Army to waste a certain amount of money that could have been used for another area.

2.) Develop a similar table to show the effects of adding operations on Saturday. (Assume that 30 operations would still be performed each day.)
