Winter Vacation - You can request time off up to 40 hours per week, including any time worked. Vacation days may not be cashed out for pay instead of taking time off! You can use your vacation to add a day or two to your pay if your schedule is short over winter, but you CANNOT work a full week and ask for vacation days on top of this.

  • Flex time can be used at any time of the year, in increments of 4 hours or more, with a maximum of 16 hours (2 days) used consecutively.
  • Vacation pay does not contribute to overtime.
  • Any vacation or flex time not used is lost, it does not roll over from year to year. Flex time and vacation time renews each year on your anniversary.
