seniority date for p/t to f/t

MrCreosote

When a part-time employee changes to full-time, we have counted the part-time years as half years to determine a seniority date. This affects the vacation accrual, which increases with years of service.

For part-timers who are benefit eligible, Vacation time is based on the same table we use for full-timers, but the accrual is half.

So, here is our contradiction: p/t who stays p/t gets half the f/t accrual but we have always progressed them up the years of service year by year. But if p/t changes to f/t we count the p/t years as only half years of service.

Does anyone else do it like that? Do you think it is a problem or does it make sense to do it that way?

Our part time employee receives pro-rated holiday only. When a part time employee becomes full time, that is his/her new hire date and the date when vacation and personal days start accruing.

For non-represented employees, we count the original hire date as the 'seniority' date as long as the service is continuous. For represented employees, the seniority date is determined by contract, and is the first day of full time employment.
