I believe it will count for this year since any unused vacation hours through December 31st gets paid out.

I have been told that CVS has a vacation blackout period from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, so no vacations are given during these periods. I don't know if this a district thing or pertains to CVS as a whole. Can someone pls chip in?
I had been saving my vacation hours to use for Christmas to my home country with my family. Is there some way to go around this? Maybe talking with the supervisor?

wow - that is just another reason I could never work for that place - I have been able to take a week off each December for the past 5 years at my hospital. When you live away from your "home" and family - being able to take time off and see them over the holidays is a huge benefit.

I have taken vacations during that time frame in the past.

Oh. Thanks .I have a long way to go. 2 more years to go. What about stock option? I thought i was gonna get it after my second year but did not.

 

[Sine Cura]

I have no intention of staying long enough to cash in but it's supposedly annual for manager, biennial for staff. My vesting period is 3 years.

You think new grads are that smart to compare benefits lol? Half don't even contribute to their 401k at all.

That is nothing to see with being new graduate. By the way i was not a new graduate when i started with Cvs. I did not remember when i will get 3 weeks vacation as i might hVe deleted the email abt benefit by accident.
Were you ever a new grad?

You'll get it in February or so.

Fiscal year and therefore any vacation must be used by EOD 12/26/15.

We heard something from our scheduler that they may not be doing payouts this year, but it was never confirmed as to my knowledge, has anyone gotten any confirmation either way on this?

Haven't heard anything like that...but I'd like to find out as well.

 

[Old Timer]

They are making pay outs.....

Scheduler probably just said that so everyone would put in for all of their vacation time early and not have the typical staffing issues at the end of the year.
