The UPRR furlough page says," Vacation Employees in furlough status are automatically paid out for their unused vacation during the month of December, by December 31. Train Service (TE&Y), Mechanical, and Clerical employees on furlough may request to be paid out for all or some of their unused current year vacation earlier than December. Per Labor Relations, this is allowed if the employee requests it. The only limitation is the number of days paid out cannot exceed the number of days the employees has been on leave (If the employee has been on leave for 3 weeks, we cannot pay out more than 3 weeks of vacation.) For these requests, enter a Payroll Ticket, explaining furlough status, and how much vacation in lieu they would like to be paid out. If your user ID is not active to enter a Payroll Ticket, you may contact the Payroll Call Center at (402) 544-4729 or 1 800-877-1010 during the hours of 9:00 AM - 3:00 PMT CST, Monday through Friday. Furloughed Mechanical and Clerical employees will need to request their current year vacation be paid out, otherwise it will be paid at the end of the year. Payments will only be processed monthly. Requests made by the 15th of the month will be paid on the 25th of the month. Furloughed Engineering employees will not be paid vacation in lieu upon request. All furloughed Engineering employees will be paid vacation in lieu at the end of the year. For ARASA employees, craft seniority will dictate how vacation in lieu requests are handled. e.g. Engineering ARASA employee with seniority ranking in other engineering zones will be treated as an engineering employee."
