The General Plan calculates years of service using the
anniversary of an employee's date of hire (the anniversary date).
The plan uses an employee's job category (salaried or hourly
worker) as of January 1 of each year to calculate the amount of
the employee's leave entitlement for the calendar year. Leave
entitlements generally must be used by the end of the calendar
year; no full week increments of leave may extend beyond that
time. Moreover, employees do not receive compensation for the
portion of their leave entitlement which remains unused at the
end of the calendar year.
Leave entitlement for employees covered by the General Plan
vests ratably over the 1-year period between successive
anniversary dates. Consequently, an employee's leave entitlement
as of January 1 normally includes both vested and nonvested
portions. The vested portion is coextensive with services which
have already been performed by the employee. The nonvested
portion of the leave entitlement will vest (on a weekly or
monthly basis) as future services are performed by the employee.
Thus, an employee with an anniversary date of July 1 of a given
year will be vested in one-half of his vacation pay for that year
