Vacation

Goodwind Development Corporation recognizes the importance of time off from work to relax, spend time with family, and enjoy leisure activities. The company provides paid vacation time to full-time employees for this purpose, and employees are encouraged to take vacation during the year. Part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week will be eligible for paid vacation on a pro rata schedule.

Full-time employees will accrue paid vacation according to the following schedule (annual totals should be rounded to the nearest whole day):

Employees may not take paid vacation until they actually have earned or accrued the vacation time. New employees accrue paid vacation at the start of employment but may not take any vacation until they have completed at least 6 months of employment.

Generally, employees should submit vacation plans to their supervisor at least 4 weeks in advance of the requested vacation date. Vacation may be scheduled in increments of 1 full workday up to a maximum of 2 weeks in a row. Managers have the right to designate when some or all of vacations must be taken.

Vacation should be used in the year it is earned. Employees will be permitted to carry over up to 5 days of accrued vacation to the following calendar year, but the carryover vacation must be used by December 31 of the following year. Unused vacation will be forfeited.

Employees whose employment terminates will be paid for unused vacation time that has accrued during the calendar year of the termination.
