EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2025, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2027

VACATION

CURRENT AND EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2025, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30,

2027:

Vacation shall be determined based on length of service (anniversary date) as follows, and shall become vested (available to use) upon reaching their anniversary date each year.

• From date of employment through 84 months of employment, employees will earn .03847 hours of vacation per hour paid, with a yearly maximum of 80 hours.

• From 85 months of employment, through 168 months, employees will earn .05798 hours of vacation per hour paid, with a yearly maximum of 120 hours.

• From 169 months of employment, and beyond, employees will earn .07693 hours of vacation per hour paid, with a yearly maximum of 160 hours.

The total hours paid (to include hours worked and paid time off for holidays, vacation, sick leave, bereavement leave, and jury duty leave) during the employee’s previous employment year.

The term “Anniversary Date”, as used in this Agreement, shall mean the date on which an employee commences employment with the Company, or with a predecessor contractor, in each succeeding annual anniversary following 12 months of continuous service. If an employee has a break in service with the Employer, the employee’s anniversary date will be adjusted to reflect their break in service.

Example:

- Employee hired 7/1/2011 with predecessor contractor; vacation and vesting based on 7/1/2011 date

- Employee leaves Employer and is rehired 120 days later; anniversary date is adjusted by 120 days to 10/29/2011; employee will accrue and vest vacation based on this date.

The term “predecessor contractor” shall refer to a business entity which immediately preceded the Company at Winn Army Hospital in Ft. Stewart pursuant to a service contract requiring the providing of similar services as those provided by the Company.

Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present (successor) contractor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same federal facility. The employee will receive vacation pay through the normal payroll cycle reflecting the time when the vacation occurs.

Vacation will begin to accrue, or accumulate, from your first day of work.

Vacation leave accrues while you are actively at work, or on paid vacation, sick, or holiday leave. Vacation leave is not available for you to use until your first service anniversary.

Your accrued vacation leave is held in two vacation leave balances—unvested and vested vacation leave. The vacation leave you accrue each pay period is placed in your unvested vacation leave balance. Unvested vacation leave is not available for you to use until your service anniversary date.

After your service anniversary date, all leave accrued during the year transfers to your vested vacation leave balance, and is available for use.

Vacation accrual rates vary depending on your seniority date. If your vacation accrual rate increases, you will immediately begin to accrue unvested vacation leave at the new increased vacation leave accrual rate.

There shall be no carry-over for unused vacation time. You are encouraged to use your vacation leave during the year after it vests, any vacation time that you have vested (earned) and remains unused during that year shall be paid out to you after your next vesting (anniversary) date. Carry-over of vacation leave is not permitted on government contracts due to the liability of a successor contractor if and when the contract is awarded to another contractor.

Separations

Vested unused vacation will be paid upon separation of employment.

Additionally, accrued unvested vacation will be paid upon separation of employment.

The employee may take his vacation in more than one segment with the consent of the Company. The employee will be paid at the employee’s current rate of pay.

An employee will receive an extra day's vacation or be paid an extra day's pay for a paid holiday that falls within his vacation period.

Vacations will be granted to employees in order of their seniority within classification and work shift. Scheduling of vacation periods is reserved to the Company in order to assure the orderly operation of its business. Employees will apply, in writing, for vacation at least three (3) weeks prior to the date vacation is desired. The Company will approve or disapprove all vacations within one (1) week after such a request for vacation has been made. A vacation period once assigned will not be canceled by the Company, except in cases of emergency.

Any work performed on a holiday will be paid at the employee's regular rate of pay in addition to the holiday pay. If any of the named holidays fall on a non-working day, the employees shall receive pay for their average number of hours normally worked in lieu of observance, as calculated above.

In the event that one of the holidays shall occur during the employee's vacation, the employee will receive an additional day of paid vacation, unless the employee and the Company agree that he may receive pay in lieu thereof.

When the Company requires work of any shift on a holiday, the Company will first seek qualified volunteers for such work. The work will be assigned according to job classification seniority and business needs as established by management. If there are not enough volunteers to perform such work, the Company will direct the least senior qualified employee in that job classification to perform the work.

In order for an employee to qualify for a paid holiday, he must have worked his regularly scheduled work day immediately preceding the holiday and his regularly scheduled work day immediately following the holiday, and if scheduled to work on the holiday, unless on vacation, leave of absence, jury duty or bereavement leave.
