Full-time and part-time employees with benefits are entitled to vacation days in accordance with the table below:

Calendar Year of Continuous Employment		Vacation Days
Until first June 1 following date of employment		1/2 day per month
After first June 1 following date of employment through 4 calendar years of employment		10 days per year
Over 5 years of employment		15 days per year

Regular part-time employees with benefits earn vacation on a pro-rata basis. Vacation pay is at your regular rate of pay. Vacation days are accrued but cannot be used during the first six months of employment. Vacation time must be taken in half-day or larger units.

In order to encourage you to take your full vacation each calendar year, you will not be able to carry any vacation days over into the following year. We will not pay you for any unused vacation time, either while employed or at the time of termination (see section on Resignations and Terminations for exception). Should a paid holiday fall within your vacation, you will be entitled to an additional day off with pay or the day may be added to your vacation. This decision will be reached by mutual agreement between you and your supervisor.

All vacation requests must be made one (1) month in advance by submitting a vacation request form and are subject to approval to assure adequate coverage during your vacation. In determining vacation schedules, three important factors are considered: your preferences, your seniority (in case of conflicting requests) and the needs of [COMPANY].
