Eligibility

All regular, full-time employees of [Your Company Name] are eligible for vacation benefits as outlined in this policy. Temporary, part-time, and contract employees are not eligible for vacation pay.

Accrual of Vacation Time

Requesting Vacation

Employees are encouraged to plan their vacations in advance and should submit a written request to their immediate supervisor at least [X] weeks before the intended vacation start date. Supervisors will consider operational needs and may approve or deny the request. Vacation requests are subject to approval and should not interfere with business operations.

Carryover and Expiry

Payment for Unused Vacation

Vacation Pay Calculation

Vacation pay will be calculated based on the employee's base salary at the time of taking the vacation. This includes regular salary and any other fixed compensation components, such as commissions or bonuses, if applicable. Overtime pay, variable bonuses, or allowances are not included in the calculation.

Taxation

Vacation pay is subject to applicable taxes, and the company will withhold the necessary tax amounts as required by law.

Holidays during Vacation

If a company-recognized holiday falls within an employee's approved vacation period, it will not be counted as a vacation day, and the employee will receive holiday pay separately.
