Vacation
What You Need to Know
You’re eligible for vacation benefits if you’re covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Locals 333, 953, or 1429, and work at least 675 hours in covered employment during the contract year.
Vacation Benefits
Vacation benefits are paid quarterly at 100% of your straight-time rate of pay. The amount of vacation benefit hours you have depends on:
- The number of hours you work during the prior contract year (October 1–September 30); and
- Your number of qualifying years (contract years in which you worked at least 675 hours in covered employment).
You’re eligible for vacation benefit hours according to the following schedule:
| Hours of Service During Contract Year | Required Qualifying Years | Vacation Benefit Hours |
|---|---|---|
| 675–1,099 | 0 | 40 |
| 1,100–1,299 | 0 | 80 |
| 1,300 or more | 2 of the past 3 contract years | 120 |
| 1,300 or more | 5 of the past 6 contract years | 160 |
| 1,500 or more | 10 of the past 12 contract years | 240 |
Holiday Benefits
You’re eligible for holiday benefits if you worked at least 800 hours in covered employment during the contract year. Holiday benefits represent 100% of your straight-time hourly rate, multiplied by eight hours, multiplied by the number of holidays agreed upon in your collective bargaining agreement.
