Vacation Schedule Policy

Full and Part time employees (who work more than 20 hours average a week) are entitled to earn Vacation days. Part time employee leave is based on hours or days worked during the previous anniversary year. Full time employee leave is based on completed service years. Certain employees may have different vacation schedules. For the most part, the schedule below should apply.

EMPLOYMENT STATUS	ENTITLED DAYS	ENTITLED HOURS	MAXIMUM ACCUMULATED
PART TIME	1 x the Average days worked per week in previous year	Varies See Left	25 Days or 200 Hours Each Anniversary Year
FULL TIME		8 hours = 1 day	Same as above
Immediately upon hire	Up to 10 days (2 wks)	Up to 80 hours	Same as above
3 Completed Years	Up to 15 Days (3 wks)	Up to 120 hours	Same as above
5 Completed Years	Up to 20 Days (4 wks)	Up to 160 hours	Same as above
10 Completed Years	Up to 25 Days (5 wks)	Up to 200 hours	Same as above

Note: Accrual caps must comply with applicable state law. States that prohibit vacation forfeiture (including California, Colorado, Montana, and Nebraska) generally require any accrual cap to be "reasonable" -- commonly cited guidance suggests a cap of at least 1.5 to 1.75 times the employee’s annual accrual rate. A flat cap equal to only about one year’s accrual at the highest tier, as shown above, may not satisfy this standard in those states and should be reviewed against current state law before use.
