Vacation

Vacation accrual begins immediately for full-time employees and is calculated based on full calendar years (Jan 1 through Dec 31). The employee earns one vacation day for each full month of continuous service up to a maximum of 5 days for the first year. These days are not available to be used until Jan 1 of the following year. Jan 1st of year 2 – 8 is 10 days earned. Jan 1st of year 8-14 is 15 days earned and 15 years and beyond is 20 days earned. Management must approve requested time off. Any unused vacation days will be forfeited if not used by the end of the year available for use. They do not roll over into the next year.
