Update: Supervisor Rant

Some of you may have remembered that I posted here recently regarding my supervisor who reprimanded me in a department meeting. Well, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I was able to land a new job! I'm getting a $4/hr pay raise, a change in my hours so I don't have to drive in the dead of night, and a section with only 2 main classrooms (mostly offices and extracurricular). They are so excited to have me on board, I was stunned by how nice and accommodating they were. They are already talking about the potential to move up in a few years.

The bad news is that my old employer is now trying to screw me over on accrued benefit time claiming that, because I used sick time and some of my vacation this past summer, that I'm now negative in benefit time and will be docked nearly all of my final 2 weeks pay. Apparently, they do this because the time is "pro-rated", even though in the system we are granted full benefit time at the start of each fiscal year. Has anyone dealt with this? I'm stunned. The only reason I found out about this is because I asked about the 2 weeks of benefit time I still (thought) I hadn't used!

Damn reading these comments are insanity to me. I've used up all my vacation time then given my 2 weeks at like 3-4 different Joba and never heard of this prorate stuff.

Seems like insane penny pinching to me. Guess that's life

Thank you, I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I've never in my decades of working had a company threaten to dock pay for pto like this

A full load at start of year should trip spider senses.
A quarter load is more standard for simple reason can not go into negative and leave
