9.14 Vacation Buy Option

Employees will be allowed to buy additional vacation days either upon hire or annually in July and January. Purchase of vacation days must be approved by the supervisor and Director of Human Resources. Vacation days may be purchased in full, 8-hour days only. The maximum annual vacation buy is 5 days. The cost for each day of vacation will be based on the employee’s annualized base salary divided by annual regular hours worked then multiplied by regular daily hours. Example of regular full-time employee: $25,000 annual salary /2080 annual hours = $12.02 X 8 hours = $96.16 per vacation day purchased. Payment for additional vacation days will be made by payroll deduction over a maximum period of two months. Purchased vacation days must be utilized before regular accrued vacation.
