Les,
The consequences would be the same, no pay for what would have been an ill day. So if the holiday were on a Friday and you were out ill on Monday, you still wouldn't get paid for the holiday, even under the 'next scheduled day' scenario. It's a double dip in the penalty box, no pay and a day of absence towards the '4 occurances and 7 days' threshold. Just a bad deal all the way around the way it's worded and being implemented. I posted the question as it has occurred during this past holiday season, genuinely ill, capable of receiving payment for the days of absence (enough seniority to be paid on the 1st day of absence) and getting nada, nothing, zip.
Hopefully this can be resolved at the bargaining rep level so every local can get the support they need in dealing with HR/company labor dept. to resolve this.
