Regular part-time employees accrue paid vacation under this schedule on a pro rata basis. <br /> Temporary and seasonal employees are not eligible for paid vacation. <br /> Employees must request time off for vacation as far in advance as feasible. When <br /> possible, employees will be granted vacation time of their choice. However this time is <br /> subject to the operating needs of the Utilities. <br /> Vacation days accrue each pay period as shown in the table above. Paid vacation may be <br /> taken as soon as it is accrued. Accrual rates change, as applicable, on an employee's <br /> anniversary date. Example: If an employee's start date was July 1, 2000, the new <br /> accrual rate would start July 1, 2004. <br /> Unused vacation days may be carried over from year-to-year, but only to a limited extent, <br /> as follows. Unused vacation carryover will be limited to the number of hours accrued <br /> during the previous year. Accrued vacation days beyond the carryover limit are lost. For <br /> example, if an employee with 2 years of service has accrued but not used 15 vacation <br /> days on his or her anniversary date, he or she will only be permitted to carryover 10 days <br /> to the next year. <br /> 'aid vacation may not be used for the ouruose of extending an employee's • ive <br /> • .if 010 PI A I !
