I have plenty of vacation time. I could take over a month off of work right now if I wanted to, and still have enough left to cover any sick days.
The problem is that I work a night shift, which comes with a pay differential at my job. But that differential doesn't get paid out when I use vacation time. So if I take any time off work, my paycheck that week is significantly lower. Which is the reason I have over a month's worth of vacation hours, because using them means getting paid less so I never end up taking any time off. It's a fucking trap that I can't get out of and it's been driving me insane. I Just need some time off, but I also need to pay the rent.
So you have vacation time, but not paid time off?
I believe they’re saying that they have paid time off, but it’s paid at the rate for day shift workers. Since they always work night shift (which has a pay bump) that means the paid time off pays less than they normally get.
I also interpreted it as you said, and also how the other commenter did.
Where I live, you get vacation pay based on your work pay. To me, if my vacation pay weren't based on my work pay, it wouldn't really be vacation pay to me.
