Except for the year in which the year employed, employees must be

management's responsibility to maintain efficient operations.
Vacation requests shall be submitted in writing at least one week

Employees who retire or who resign with two weeks' notice
prior to taking earned vacation time will be paid a prorated amount
of that year's vacation based on the portion of the year worked.
