Year-end PTO cash outs

With the end of the year coming up I just wanted to remind you of some of the best practices for filling out the cash-in request timecards. If these guidelines are followed, then it would help us out a lot in getting all of these payments processed as quickly and accurately as possible:

Submit as a “Cash In” Claim Type

1) Requests should be for only type of PTO (vacation, personal, or sick) cash-in per timecard submitted

2) Timecard comments should state to pay remaining balance of the PTO type for 2023 instead of the specific amount (e.g. “Pay remaining 2023 vacation balance” or “Pay all unused 2023 personal days”)

3) There is no need for anyone to submit a separate timecard for each individual day that is being cashed in (e.g. a 32-hour vacation cash-in should be submitted on one request instead of four separate requests)

4) Since we are now using electronic timecards there should not be a need for anyone to submit duplicate timecards. They can email me or the verification department with the request ID# and we can check the status of the request. 

Thanks,

M&E Service Disruption

Good afternoon brothers and sisters of Local 60. Due to the extensive catenary damage on the M&E line and needs of service which will be compromised between a week and two weeks, the Carrier made the request to make some assignment changes to members assignments without penalty for not advertising the assignment changes in the bulletin for needs of service. 
 
The Carrier will have numerous assignments out of Dover that will sign up twenty (20) minutes earlier than their normal sign-up time. This is to take into account the travel time from Dover Yard to Morristown via the Jitney. Secondly, there will be some assignments out of Hoboken, Gladstone, Great Notch, and Port Morris with some changes. 
 
This is an unforeseen emergency, and we agree we need to support service. These members whose assignments are affected will be paid the earnings of their assignments plus 2 hours at the straight time rate. This includes the Ticket Collectors that meet their trains at Dover Station.
 
There will be seven (7) extra assignments created out of Hoboken and two (2) relay assignments out of New York for Sunnyside equipment moves. I also made a request to add two (2) protect jobs out of Dover Yard. No update on that as of yet.
 
If the assignments were advertised this would create a rollover effect and would greatly hinder the needs of service. This information will be in today’s Division Notice as well as the Claim Code and information for compensation.
 
 Thank you for your patience and understanding.
 
Jerome
