| 7-13 years | 3 weeks (120 work hours) | 4.62 hours (per 80 hrs reported) | 9 weeks |
| 14-23 years | 4 weeks (160 work hours) | 6.16 hours (per 80 hrs reported) | 12 weeks |

Employees may accrue a maximum of vacation that would be earned in a three-year period. An employee will not accrue vacation while the balance is at the maximum permitted. Employees shall forfeit their right to take or to be paid for any vacation leave to their credit which is in excess of the accrual for three years.
