July 1, 2001 - June 20, 2006

ARTICLE 8 - VACATIONS

A. The Employer will grant vacations to all regular full-time Employees covered by the Agreement based on the following vacation eligibility schedule:

B. Commencing July 1, 1997, eligibility for vacation will be based on Employees' anniversary hiring date and seniority. When compatible with operational needs, choice of vacation period shall be according to seniority. The Employer may schedule vacations throughout the calendar year and shall determine the number of Employees who can be absent on vacation at any one time. In scheduling their vacations, employees may choose to take all of their vacation in a continuous block of time, unless the time is not available because it was chosen by employees with more seniority. Employees must submit their request by February 1 and the vacation schedule will be posted by March 1.

C. There shall be no accrual of vacation credit during an unpaid leave of absence in excess of thirty (30) days.

D. If a holiday falls during the Employee's vacation period, the Employee will receive an additional day's pay at straight time therefore or, at the option of the Employee, an extra day off within ten (10) working days immediately preceding or succeeding the Employee's vacation period.

E. Employees covered by this Agreement shall receive actual vacations and no Employee covered by this Agreement shall be required to accept vacation pay in lieu of vacation periods except as provided in paragraph D above.

F. Vacation pay shall be paid prior to actual commencement of the vacation periods.

G. Any Employee, including a part-time Employee, whose employment is terminated for any reason, except for a criminal act, shall be entitled to a pro rata vacation allowance, computed on his length of service as provided in the vacation schedule hereinabove set forth, and the elapsed period from his previous anniversary date of employment.

I. No Employee who leaves his/her position of his/her own accord shall be entitled to his/her accrued vacation credits, unless he/she gives five (5) working days termination notice.

J. Any Employee who has worked at least six (6) months before leaving his/her job shall be entitled to the vacation allowance provided in paragraph A minus any vacation days previously taken that were based on that allowance.

K. Part-time workers regularly employed shall receive proportionate allowances on the basis of the average number of hours per week they are employed.

L. By mutual agreement, an employee may take one week's pay at straight time in lieu of one week of vacation. Requests to take pay in lieu of vacation must be submitted during the first fifteen days of the quarter in which the vacation is scheduled. When the starting date of the vacation falls during the first month of the quarter (January, April, July, and October), however, requests may be submitted fifteen days prior to the starting date of the vacation.
