The vacation earning period shall be from July 1 through June 30. An employee shall have worked the major portion of the calendar month to be credited with vacation allowance for that month. Vacation days may not be carried forward from year to year.

An employee shall work one year before he is entitled to any paid vacation. However since the earning period is from July 1 through June 30, any employee who has been in regular service for six months prior to June 1 shall be credited with the number of days earned according to the above scale and shall be permitted to take those days during his first summer of employment.

Vacation time can be used at any time during the year.

Maintenance and operations employees shall also be granted the following paid holidays:

Fourth of July
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday
December 24, 25 (Christmas) and 31
New Years Day

Other Support Staff Employees

Twelve-month employees shall receive ten days vacation with pay after one full year of employment. Vacation time shall be earned according to the above schedule.

Vacations can be scheduled to be taken at any time during the year. As nearly as possible, the time of annual vacations shall be scheduled at the convenience of the employee and in accordance with the demands of the employee's position.

Vacation time shall not be cumulative beyond one year nor shall vacation time other than normal annual benefits be reimbursable when employment is terminated. If an employee resigns without giving the required two weeks' notice, he shall forfeit all vacation earned in the period preceding his resignation.

Paid holidays for secretaries, aides, bookkeeper and cooks generally shall be the same as those observed in the buildings. Twelve month employees will also get the same paid holidays as the maintenance and operations employees
