How Flex Vacation Works
Provided you are hired on or before November 30, 2018, you can purchase additional vacation days for 2019 prior to your enrollment deadline. Once you elect to purchase flex vacation days, you will not be able to change your selection following the close of Open Enrollment.
Flex vacation days are only available for use after you have used your entire regular vacation allotment for 2019. Finally, like your regular vacation time, you must obtain your manager's advance approval prior to using your flex vacation day(s).
Except where otherwise required by law, you cannot return flex vacation day(s) once purchased; nor can you carry flex vacation day(s) over into the next calendar year. Thus, if you do not use your flex vacation days during the calendar year, you will lose them.
In the event your employment terminates during the year, the costs for your regular vacation time and your flex vacation time will be calculated together for final pay purposes.
