Eligible employees earn vacation leave at the rate of 14 hours per month for each month of full-time service, up to 21 working days or 168 hours each calendar year from the first year of employment. Accrued hours are earned based on total hours worked per month for less than full-time services.

Refer to your collective bargaining agreement for more information regarding Vacation Leave.

Once the accrued vacation balance reaches 42 days (336 hours), employees may accumulate no more than 15 days (120 hours) per calendar year. On December 31 of each year, hours in excess of 120 hours earned will be forfeited.

Vacation leave may be accumulated up to a total of 90 days (720 hours for full-time employees, etc.). Unused vacation hours in excess of 90 days will be forfeited at the end of the calendar year.
