Walking bosses and foremen receive two additional hours for each 100 hours paid in excess of 1,400 hours, up to a maximum of 20 additional hours. ADDITIONAL WEEKS OF VACATION Up to four additional weeks of vacation may be earned and paid, based on the number of past years of service in which a registrant received a basic one-week vacation. The requirements are shown in the table on the left. To receive a third week of vacation, a registrant must have qualified for a two-week basic vacation in the previous payroll year and must also have eight total years of service with a one-week vacation. Eligible registrants may also receive extra weeks of vacation independent of having received a third week of vacation. For these extra weeks of vacation, the registrant must have earned one week of basic vacation and have 17 or more years of service. After 17, 23, and 25 years of service with one week of vacation, one, two, or three extra weeks of vacation are earned, respectively. Therefore, an individual with sufficient years of service may earn extra weeks of vacation without qualifying for a two-week basic vacation.
