For part-time regular employees working at least 20 hours per week, hours shall accrue at a pro-rated rate based on the percentage of hours regularly scheduled to work in relation to full-time. The maximum accrual cap shall be twice the pro-rated annual accrual. A full-time employee who moves to a part-time position/status, and who has a vacation balance in excess of the pro-rated maximum amount, will be afforded six (6) months to use the excess accrued vacation and will continue to accrue vacation hours, at the pro-rated rate, during the six (6) month period. The Supervisor will make every effort to grant vacation requests from an employee so situated. If the requests cannot be granted, the excess vacation balance will be cashed-out.
