Holidays
The following holiday schedule is for the year 2004

Vacations
Regular full-time employees accrue three weeks (15 days) of paid vacation for each year of active service during the first five years of employment and four weeks (20 days) of vacation per year starting the sixth year of employment. Vacation time accrues at the rate of 10 hours per month during the first five years of employment and at a rate of 13.3 hours per month starting the sixth year of employment. Active service commences with an employee's first day of work and continues thereafter unless broken by an unpaid leave of absence or termination of employment. Regular part-time employees normally scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week accrue vacation on a prorated basis. Temporary employees do not accrue paid vacation.
An employee can accrue up to a maximum of two (2) times the yearly vacation amount (six weeks (30 days) of pay for the first five years of employment, and eight weeks (40 days) of pay starting the sixth year of employment). Once this cap is reached, no further vacation will accrue until some vacation is used. When some vacation is used, vacation compensation will begin to accrue again. There is no retroactive grant of vacation compensation for the period of time the accrued vacation compensation was at the cap.

For further information on employee vacation and to read the company policy regarding time off, please review the Employee Handbook on the company intranet.

Temporary employees are not eligible for paid sick time. Regular full-time employees will accrue sick time at a rate of six (6) hours per month for a total of nine (9) days per year. Regular part-time employees will accrue sick time on a prorated basis.
