39 more working days. But who's counting .
Take all the vacation time first then retire unless the pay out is better. Some places treat the pay out as a "bonus" and you get hit at a higher tax rate.March 31st or thereabouts. The time frame works for everyone. Still not sure how to come to terms with the unreal number of unused vacation weeks.
Currently have shingles and not feeling well. I'm at home trying to recover. Maybe I'll have some residual problems (post herpetic neuralgia), as the extensive Right hand side pain remains unchanged, despite the rash healing.
The problem with that is I'd still be employed and the non stop emergencies would mean I'd be required to perform, and more empty promises. I'm not healthy enough anymore to deal with that.Take all the vacation time first then retire unless the pay out is better.

Can't you use the accrued PTO as sick days to "address your health issues"? There is no legal way they can force you to perform if you are out due to medical/health issues. Pretty certain that HIPAA laws prohibit your employer from questioning your health concerns or to disclose specific medical details.The problem with that is I'd still be employed and the non stop emergencies would mean I'd be required to perform, and more empty promises.

They don't allow you to set your official retirement date numerous weeks out and you are on vacation, not at work those final weeks?March 31st or thereabouts. The time frame works for everyone. Still not sure how to come to terms with the unreal number of unused vacation weeks.

So you'll take the payout then...sounds like the better option.The problem with that is I'd still be employed and the non stop emergencies would mean I'd be required to perform, and more empty promises. I'm not healthy enough anymore to deal with that.
Don't know. At this point, shingles has knocked me down. Can't even ride in the F150, due to right side pain.Can't you use the accrued PTO as sick days to "address your health issues"?

That has been the case all along, always with the promise of getting time off some other time.EDIT: You are saying that even on vacation, you are required to respond to workplace issues? That is crazy.
No payout. Just leave and done.Sorry for not being clear. I'm currently home with shingles. One possible option is to lawyer up. Because I don't have a contract or even an employee policy handbook, and that there are just 2 of us in the flight department with 6 aircraft. I'd expect that to fail. Oh well, I was well paid.So you'll take the payout then...sounds like the better option.

In 2001, I was in Italy for a family vacation, got called back. Next vacation was 2018, Went to New Mexico to the national nuclear museum, and also was called back, with the promise of making it right. Never happened. Same with subsequent time off, always required to work. It's no wonder I'm suffering with shingles, I've been used up.

WOW, Just WOW Your health is priority one and added stress is not good, so only you can judge whether the aggravation of getting paid fairly is worth it. You can ask a lawyer for free. It would be interesting to know if labor laws cover your situation.No payout. Just leave and done.Sorry for not being clear. I'm currently home with shingles. One possible option is to lawyer up.

Slow down and smell the roses.Wow, the thread has been quiet for the last month. I've got 6 weeks to go, feels like an eternity.
I did about 35 years working. Retired and never looked back. I pass by the place I did 30 years at all the time because I live within 6 miles of the place. Its nice to look at the plant and remember. Lots of good memories erase the bad!That's always a wise thing to do.
That's a misconception about HIPPA . If he has Sick Leave or Medical Insurance benefits the employer has to know certain things in order to administrate those benefits .Can't you use the accrued PTO as sick days to "address your health issues"? There is no legal way they can force you to perform if you are out due to medical/health issues. Pretty certain that HIPAA laws prohibit your employer from questioning your health concerns or to disclose specific medical details.
Back it up with an email...some letters get ignored/misplacedA short one paragraph explanation will be sufficient. It will come to you. I think that a two week or one month notice would be sufficient. Put it in letter form instead of email. Email is so impersonal.
I retired at 58. My father was ill and I was physically worn out at 31 years on the job.
Well, now have to add 60 more days to my anticipated peace out date thanks to the Social Security Administration. Seems when I filed my application, they asked for the month I wanted my benefits to start and I chose the month after I turn 62 (they said you can't pick the month you turn qualifying age). So I chose May and then I get a letter that says I will get my first check at the end of June. Huh? Seems that since they pay benefits the month following, I get May's benefits in June. Geez, ok. Now it's 49 more days of fighting crime and guarding the peace. Again, who's counting.
