VACATION

Everyone needs to have time off for rest and relaxation. The company has a vested vacation policy. Each week of your employment, you earn a certain amount of vacation based on your length of service. You earn vacation time from the first day of your employment until the last active day of your employment. An account is established for you in which the company credits the appropriate fraction of your annual vacation amount each week (e.g., one week = 40 hours per year = .77 hours per week). Regular full-time employees with continuous service earn vacation benefits as follows: 1-2 years’ service 40 hours 3-7 years’ service 80 hours In years 2, 7 and 14 of employment, the vacation accrual increases so that the extra 40 hours of vacation time are available for use in years 3, 8 and 15 of employment. Employees who work a reduced work schedule may still participate in the company’s vacation if the employee works at least 30 hours per week. The accrual of benefits is based upon the employee’s reduced pay and/or number of hours worked. The company strongly encourages you to use your vacation time during the year in which it is earned. Employees will stop earning vacation whenever their vacation account reaches twice the annual accrual amount. The accrual will resume after vacation is used and deducted from the account. No payment will be made in lieu of time off. Accrued vacation is not payable to an individual until completion of the trial period. Vacations may be taken at any time that is agreeable to the individual and his or her supervisor, as business conditions permit. All eligible non-exempt employees who work their scheduled day immediately before and following the holiday (and the holiday if scheduled to work), shall receive an amount equal to 8 hours straight-time pay. Salaried exempt employees receive their regular salary. Employees who work a reduced work schedule may still participate in the company’s holiday plan provided the employee works at least 30 hours per week. The accrual of benefits is based upon the employee’s reduced pay and/or number of hours worked. Employees must complete a 30-day employment period before becoming eligible for holiday pay. Paid holidays are: New Year’s Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day Personal Holiday PAID HOLIDAYS 8-14 years of service 120 hours 15+ years of service 160 hours
