Vacation Pay Advance


Some collective agreements provide for payment of estimated net salary for vacation periods of two or more complete weeks upon the employee's written request. Such pay advances shall be a first charge against any subsequent pay entitlements and shall be recovered in full before any further payment of salary.

PWGSC requires that a request for vacation pay advance should be received in the paying office at least five weeks in advance of the date the cheque is required in the department. (Reference: Personnel-Pay Input Manual (PPIM) Section 5-2.)

The control of the payment and recovery of vacation pay advances by the paying office requires their identification by departmental line object.
