Can you move vacation either earlier or later via vacation move up? I’ve always been under the impression you could only move a later vacation to an earlier time

You can vacation moveup either direction. For example, I had a week that started the last week of February (spilling into March). For a couple of reasons I preferred that the entire week begin in March. I submitted a vacation moveup bid, and because there were weeks available in March, I got one. Then I plan on sliding that to different days in March.

Vacation moveup bidding is a blind bid, and you also have to be realistic. Want to move your vacation from February to March (or vice versa) via a moveup? Your odds of success are pretty good. Want to move up a vacation week from February to July? Probably not going to happen. But...nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Between vacation slide and vacation moveups, we have a pretty good system.

I have gotten summer vacation a few times due to this method. With all of the movement going on right now, vacations are being moved a ton and summer weeks do become available once in a while. No harm in putting the request in. And as you said, it’s nice to get the month you want and then slide during PBS.
