(c) an employee, with more than three (3) years' service as of June 1st, shall receive three (3) weeks of vacation for the following year.

(d) an employee with more than eight (8) years' service as of June 1st, shall receive four weeks of vacation for the following year. For those employees hired prior to June 1, 2015, an employee with more than five (5) years' service as of June 1st shall receive four weeks of vacation for the following year.

(e) For those employees hired prior to June 1, 2015, an employee with more than fifteen (15) years' service as of June 1st shall receive five weeks of vacation for the following year.

(f) If an employee has taken at least two (2) weeks of vacation over the past twelve

(12) months, he may request a payout of his previous years' accrued and unused banked vacation. For these purposes, vacation is defined as scheduled physical

time off work that draws from your vacation bank. Current year vacation

entitlement cannot be paid out. All requests for a payment of vacation per the

terms above must be submitted in advance, in writing, to your manager during the month of your anniversary with the Company. Should an exceptional

situation arise where an employee needs access to their payout outside of their

anniversary month, an employee can submit a payout request in writing and this

will be considered on a case by case basis. Requests will not be unreasonably

denied.

19.02 All part-time Maintenance and Operator Employees shall be entitled to an annual vacation based on seniority as at June 1st every year, in accordance with the schedule noted in clause 19.01 but, prorated in accordance with their average work week.

19.04 Employees shall receive their vacation pay, in an amount equal to their usual earnings for the actual work days taken as vacation; subject to the employee having accumulated sufficient vacation pay in their vacation pay bank. Vacation Pay will be paid along with the regular payroll being administered at the time in which the vacation time falls. For employees entitled to annual vacation of two (2) weeks or less, vacation pay will accrue at the rate of four percent (4%) of wages paid in the previous vacation year less vacation pay paid. For employees entitled to annual vacation of three (3) weeks, vacation pay will accrue at the rate of six percent (6%) of wages paid in the previous vacation year less vacation pay paid. For employees, entitled to annual vacation of four (4) weeks, vacation pay will accrue at the rate of eight percent (8%) of wages paid in the previous vacation year less vacation pay paid.

19.05 The Company and the Union agree that it is in the interest of both parties that vacation entitlement be used in the year in which it is earned. However, it is understood that any unused vacation beyond the two (2) weeks minimum may, with approval of the Company, be carried over to September 1 of the following vacation year. Such approval will not be unreasonably withheld. In such cases, the employee will schedule his or her carried forward vacation time with a member of the Operations management team no later than the end of the current vacation year. Failure to take carried-over vacation by September 1st, of the following vacation year will be lost.

19.06 Employees shall submit their requests for vacation in writing at least four (4) weeks prior to the date they wish to commence their vacation and can request vacation in increments of one (1) day up to their full entitlement for that year at one time. The Company may restrict employees to no more than two (2) consecutive vacation weeks at one time. Vacations will be approved by the Operations Manager, Maintenance Manager, Energy and Technical Services Manager, or Maintenance Supervisor subject to business requirements.

Approval for vacation requests will not be unreasonably withheld. Only one employee per classification will be permitted vacation at one time. There will be no bumping of approved vacation. If two or more employees request vacation time for the same period of time at the same time, the employee who is most senior will be granted the vacation. If a more senior employee requests time that has already been granted and approved to another employee, his request will only be considered on the basis of business needs. This late request will not bump another employee's vacation.

Once vacation time is approved, no changes will be permitted unless the change is to a time not already approved for another employee and is subject to business requirements and Operations Manager, Maintenance Manager, Energy and Technical Services Manager, or Maintenance Supervisor approval.

All Maintenance and Operator Employees who are entitled to two (2) or more weeks of annual vacation must take a minimum of two (2) weeks of vacation time in the current year.
