Time Off
Gray provides vacation time for full and part-time team members.
Vacation time is granted at the beginning of each calendar year, based
on consecutive years of service and full or part-time status.

If there is a break in service with subsequent re-employment by Gray at
a later date, the hours will be assigned on a “new hire” basis.

Vacation hours are effective January 1st of each year. For example: “5th” year means January
of the year in which your 5th anniversary occurs, regardless of your anniversary date.

You are encouraged to use all vacation hours assigned to you during the year of assignment.
However, in situations of extenuating job-related circumstances that have prevented you
from using all of your vacation hours, a maximum of 40 hours may be “carried over” to the
following calendar year. Carry-over hours must be used by April 30th of the following year or
they will be forfeited. The Department Manager must approve and notify Human Resources
in writing of any approved carry-over time prior to December 31st of each year.

Team members have access to their vacation hours at the beginning of each calendar year;
however, it is not permissible to take an advance on vacation time. If your status changes from full
to part-time at any point during a calendar year, the vacation hours will be prorated accordingly.

For more information on vacation hours, including how much time off you are eligible
for, please see your Team Member Handbook or contact your Benefits team.
