B. Vacation leave
7.B.1. Only regular full time and reduced-hours employees shall be eligible for vacation time. Regular-reduced hours employees shall accrue, on an hourly basis, an amount proportionate to the number of hours worked weekly with 40 hours being considered full time. Eligibility is determined by anniversary date of employment. For vacation increment purposes, the anniversary date shall be considered the first day of the month of date of hire for those employees hired between the first and the fifteenth day of the month. Those employees hired after the fifteenth day of the month shall have an anniversary date of the first day of the following month. Vacation accruals for a regular full time employee shall be based on the following:
| After: | Accrual rate |
|---|---|
| One full year of service | 10 days/year (80 hours) |
| Five years of service | 15 days/year (120 hours) |
| Ten years of service | 20 days/year (160 hours) |
| Twenty years of service | 25 days/year (200 hours) |
