What’s this National Disaster Adminsitrative Leave pay line on my paycheck? And why only 8 hours? We were informed earlier that we’d be paid for Thursday, Friday, and Monday of the “hurricane vacation” and that we could use our vacation time to make up the remainder. We are getting our 80 hours, so it’s just a matter of how they are accounting for it. Figured we’d just see 80 hours like normal. Instead we see our regular hours, our vacation hours* if we had to take extra time, and 8 hours of this new thing. Not 24, as one would expect. The weird thing is it resulted in a few cents of difference on the net of my paycheck, probably due to tax calculations. Bet they forgot to charge the SS tax on those hours.

Now contrast that with Baytown’s behavior.) We’re not “essential personnel” like HPD. Or all of Baytown’s personnel.

Update: I have found out that the special pay is for the 26th.

*I was caught well to the east with limited gas supplies, resulting in 2 extra days off before I could return to work. So were many others. Some had to stay home with kids the Wed. before, because the schools had closed.
