VACATION/PERSONAL TIME - UNITED*
United Team Member Vacation Days (Full-Time) (Texas only)
Full-time team members become eligible for vacation on the first anniversary date of continuous full-time employment and earn additional vacation as of each subsequent anniversary date. For team members who are hired on a part-time basis and later move to full-time status, benefits such as vacation are based on the date of the status change and not the original hire date. Vacation earned should be used within one year of the anniversary date. However, up to one week (maximum 45 hours, based on average hours) of unused vacation may be carried over to the next year. (Max of 42.50 hours for RC Taylor) Vacation in excess of one week will be lost forever. In order to receive vacation pay, team members must take time off from work. Pay will not be given in lieu of taking time off. Vacation cannot be taken before it is earned. Due to busy retail season, vacations are discouraged during the last six weeks of the calendar year; any exceptions must have management approval.
