temporary employees do not qualify for vacation or sick leave credit.
Vacation or sick time may be taken as it accrues form the start of employment. Any leave taken in excess
of the employees accrued amount of vacation or sick will be considered time off without pay. To cash
out vacation hours, contact a Payroll Representative.
Vacation can be carried over year-to-year, up to a 240 hour maximum. Vacation will stop accruing at
the 240 hour maximum.
Upon a full-time or part-time employees termination, any accrued vacation time will be paid out to the

prior service was longer than the break-in-service: Vacation-the previous time will be bridged for

on a pro-rated basis.
Only services as a full-time or part-time employee will qualify for vacation purposes, service as a
temporary employee will not qualify. If a part-time employees status changes to full-time, they will be
recognized a year of service for every year they worked at least 1,000 hours as a part-time employee.
