Vacation Time Accrual:
Vacation days are earned during the second year on a start date "anniversary" year basis. The vacation days accrued in an anniversary year must be used by the next anniversary day of the following year or will be forfeited. Therefore, the maximum number of days that can be on the department records is 5 days.

Vacation Time Usage:
Eligible employees can take a full week vacation anytime during the second year of service. In the second year, vacation can be used prior to earning it, but if you leave Argus for any reason prior to earning what was taken then the unearned balance will be deducted from your final check.

Employees must request advance permission from their supervisors prior to taking vacation time. Additionally, they must follow any applicable client procedures regarding vacation time requests.
