All employees shall indicate <br />their preference for vacation periods during a designated period prior to <br />bi-annual shift change.

An additional round of vacation <br />sign-ups shall occur after the beginning of the new shift. <br /> <br />7.15.2 Full-time employees shall be entitled to annual vacation leave as follows: <br /> <br />During the first four (4) years of employment, full-time employees will <br />accrue vacation at the rate of eighty (80) hours of vacation leave per year <br />of service as determined by the employee’s anniversary-of-hire rate <br />(3.0769 hours per pay period). Upon completion of four (4) years of <br />employment and thereafter through the ninth year of employment, full- <br />time employees will accrue vacation at the rate of one-hundred-twenty <br />(120) hours per year of service (4.6154 hours per pay period). <br /> <br />Upon completion of nine (9) years of employment and thereafter through <br />the sixteenth year of service, full-time employees will accrue vacation at <br />the rate of one-hundred-sixty (160) hours per year of service (6.1538 <br />hours per pay period).
