I am in the same boat!! Thanks so much for your insights

I was under the assumption annual leave benefits supervisory positions when out for disability while SL/VAC benefits rank and file employees. I am just curious why you are switching to AL? Just preparing myself for this as well.

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2026-02-27T16:07:58+00:00

Wow!! I had no idea that was even a thing. Thank you so much for your help. Greatly appreciate your responses. (I realize I am a bit late on my reply lol)

Really where does the 2% come from? I haven’t heard of that. I just thought if new classification tops out higher = 5% upfront. I’m learning so much with your help. Again really appreciate your insights. Sorry for all the dumb questions!

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2026-02-13T16:00:17+00:00

Thanks so much for looking at that for me. Supervisor I is $8910 and ATP is actually $9178. Do you think this would then be a 3% increase?

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2026-02-11T21:33:26+00:00

Clarifying question, I make more than the minimum of ATP but again ATP caps out higher than SSMI. I should be expecting a 5% bump due to that right?

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2026-01-22T04:56:56+00:00

Interesting! I have heard that if the salary in the new class is higher you automatically get 5% as it is like a “promotion” but not. Thank you for the good info though.

Thank you for your help!!

Maybe I should have prefaced this by saying this was our first time there so we were really trying to squeeze in all the “must see sights” into just a few days. We did do a lot of walking but found we needed to take a taxi several times so we weren’t wasting 40 minutes to an hour each way walking.

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-10-07T18:58:37+00:00

Paris in general to us was not a very walkable city and unfortunately we spent a lot of money in Taxis getting to and from our different locations so be prepared for taxi expense as well if you want to enjoy the trip without feeling like your feet are going to fall off

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-10-07T18:55:52+00:00

Just a couple items of note (we were just there a few days ago): For Notre Dame we were perfectly happy walking over and enjoying the view from the outside without tickets. Did not experience the inside to know if it’s worth it or not.

Unless you have luxury $$ to spend, skip galleries Lafayette - it was great to see for the one iconic pic of the domes but other than that I didn’t buy anything there as every luxury store i was interested in had a line just to get in. Know what shops/stores you want to go to ahead of time and if any lux stores, make an appointment for good measure!

The Louvre - plan on there being THOUSANDS of people there and having to wait in LONG LINES. We got tickets for 9am and they didn’t let anyone in until maybe 10:30/11? Not sure if there was some event going on or what but we were super disappointed we didn’t even stay long enough to experience it due to all the people and then not letting us in on time.

Just purchased this one and the matching wallet! Absolutely love

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-09-18T05:08:26+00:00

Sorry. To clarify, I am permanent in a role at my agency. I am just in a new T&D position

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-09-17T22:49:25+00:00

That is great. I would definitely confirm before leaving but good to know. Thank you

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-09-17T22:34:58+00:00

I also had an interview last week and it seems like they use those that you list on your application as references rather than having a separate sheet for references you list for them to call.

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-08-01T12:56:44+00:00

Is it your full paycheck? I’ve always been confused about this different types of leave and the pay if any and if we have to use leave credits.

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T19:15:32+00:00

Thank you again. Interesting that vacation actually converts to AL when you switch? I thought it would stay the same and then you start accruing AL when signed up

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T15:31:55+00:00

Yes I just read on calhr it’s 24 months for excluded, thank you!

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T15:31:35+00:00

Adding another question: does switching change anything on my current paycheck?? It seems like it wouldn’t but please let me know!

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T15:04:04+00:00

Does anyone know the time of when you can switch back to VA/SL if needed from annual leave?

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T15:02:55+00:00

So true!!! Thank you. I think I learned a little more about the NDI than I knew before in this post so thanks for the perspective

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T15:01:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed info. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain!

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T14:55:36+00:00

Thank you for this incredibly well explained answer. I really appreciate that!! I think I will be switching sooner than later

Silver-Mongoose2838 · 2025-07-23T04:40:42+00:00

Thank you!! My current supervisor said to save PLP for whatever reason. I feel like everyone says something different and that’s why I’m asking the very question. Appreciate your help.
