Extra Benefits for Clerks and Foremen Clerks and walking bosses/foremen receive additional hours of vacation pay, depending on the total hours paid to the individual in the previous payroll year. Clerks receive two additional hours for each 50 hours paid in excess of 1,975 in the previous payroll year, up to a maximum of 16 additional hours. Walking bosses and foremen receive two additional hours for each 100 hours paid in excess of 1,400 hours, up to a maximum of 20 additional hours. Additional Weeks of Vacation Up to four additional weeks of vacation may be earned and paid, based on the number of past years of service in which a registrant received a basic one-week vacation. The requirements are shown in the table on the left. To receive a third week of vacation, a registrant must have qualified for a two-week basic vacation in the previous payroll year and must also have eight total years of service with a one-week vacation. Eligible registrants may also receive extra weeks of vacation independent of having received a third week of vacation. For these extra weeks of vacation, the registrant must have earned one week of basic vacation and have 17 or more years of service. After 17, 23, and 25 years of service with one week of vacation, one, two, or three extra weeks of vacation are earned, respectively. Therefore, an individual with sufficient years of service may earn extra weeks of vacation without qualifying for a two-week basic vacation. The Joint Port Labor Relations Committee in each port schedules vacations. Holiday Plan The longshore, clerks' and foremen's agreements recognize 15 holidays, of which 13 are paid holidays. There are five no-work holidays– Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Bloody Thursday, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day. All no-work holidays are "paid holidays," except for Bloody Thursday, and Christmas Eve Day and New Year's Eve Day which are early release days. The seven other paid holidays are normal work days, ADDITIONAL VACATION WEEKS Registrants who qualify for a basic one-week vacation may qualify for three additional vacation weeks based on total vacation qualifying years: One additional week if registrant has 17 total qualifying years – or – Two additional weeks if registrant has 23 total qualifying years – or – Three additional weeks if registrant has 25 total qualifying years Registrants who qualify for a basic two-week vacation may qualify for four additional vacation weeks based on total vacation qualifying years: One additional week if registrant has 8 total qualifying years – or – One additional week if registrant has 5 total qualifying years in the last 10, and was registered before July 1, 1990 in ports other than Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and has been available for employment 10 or more years – or – Two additional weeks if registrant has 17 total qualifying years – or – Three additional weeks if registrant has 23 total qualifying years – or – Four additional weeks if registrant has 25 total qualifying years Truckers line up to return empty containers at TTI.
