Common use of FORFEITING OR FOREGOING VACATION / LONGEVITY PTO Clause in Contracts

FORFEITING OR FOREGOING VACATION / LONGEVITY PTO. Vacation/Longevity PTO will not be cumulative and a vacation/Longevity PTO to which a Flight Attendant becomes entitled on December 31st of any year will be forfeited unless taken during the subsequent calendar year. If forfeited, the Flight Attendant will be paid the remaining value of her/his vacation in February of the year following the year in which the vacation was not taken. However, a Flight Attendant may be requested by the Company to forego her/his vacation/Longevity PTO if such request is in writing and agreed to by the affected Flight Attendant. In such event, the Flight Attendant will be paid double, with vacation time/Longevity PTO to be taken later in the year at the Flight Attendant’s choosing or accumulated to be used during the succeeding year. If, due to error by the Company, the Flight Attendant is not given accrued vacation/Longevity PTO to which s/he is entitled, such Flight Attendant will be deemed to have been requested by the Company to forego her/his vacation/Longevity PTO and will be treated accordingly.
