Jeff /m4374 They did the same thing to me when I was a PTF. I called in sick one day, and worked the n/s day of the hold down, and they did the same thing. Our union filed a grievance and I got paid. In the MRS, I found this:

PTF LEAVE
Leave for part-time flexible employees is governed by ELM Section 512.521 which states:
512.522(a) A part-time flexible employee who has been credited with 40 hours or more of paid service (work, leave, or a combination of work and leave), in a service week is not granted paid annual or sick leave during the remainder of the service week. Absences in such cases are treated as non-duty time, not chargeable to paid leave of any kind. Supervisors should avoid granting leave resulting in the requirement for overtime pay.

512.522(b) Part-time flexible employees who request leave on days that they are scheduled to work, except legal holidays, may be granted leave provided they can be spared. Leave charged cannot exceed 8 hours on any one day. The installation head may also consider a request for annual leave on any day a part-time flexible is not scheduled to work. The 40 hours paid service in a service week specified in 512.523a may not be exceeded.

So, since you took your A/L on a Saturday, and worked your n/s on a Wednesday, then Friday should have been overtime. Once a PTF works past eight hours a day and over 40 hours a week, then they get overtime. But management is dirty. They'll throw your A/L slip away. Change Saturday to your n/s day. And make Wednesday as just another day working. It's to make their numbers look good. With less overtime used in their office. Which is wrong. Get a hold of your union and have them look into this. The only catch to this whole situation is that if you work Saturday, and then Monday thru Thurday, (at least eight hours every day), but on Friday you call in sick, then you wouldn't get paid for sick leave, since you've already gotten 40 hours for the week. Same goes with requesting A/L for Friday. You won't get it. But all other days, yes.
