The Draft 2024 vacation schedule increases accrued vacation for years of service 0-12. This adds 93 additional paid vacation days for employees and is one example of how to redistribute accrued vacation to provide employees with more vacation earlier in their tenure. The benefits associated with adjusting the vacation accrual schedule include: o Achieves the objective of providing 15 days of vacation to new hires with no increase in total time off for employees with more than 12 years of service with ERMU. o Provides additional vacation days for lower tenure employees (12 years and below). The Draft 2024 Hybrid approach limits the impact of additional vacation days but adds a personal day to all levels. The benefits associated with adding a personal day include: o Personal days are allocated the first of the year for maximum flexibility. o Personal days can’t be carried over so allowable banked time does not increase (which reduces the financial liability associated with higher banked vacation amounts). o Adding a personal day would be a benefit received by all staff equally. o The added personal day could negate the need to make other time-off related adjustments. 3 76
