Daily Compensation for Vacation, Holiday & PTO #
- Team Members paid on an hourly basis or salary receive vacation pay based on straight time or monthly salary.
- Team Members paid on commission will be paid $105 per day for each authorized vacation, holiday, PTO and extended illness day taken.
- When the rate of pay per day added to the Production/Sales incentive earned exceeds the guarantee/draw, the Team Member will be paid the excess.
- When the rate of pay per day amount added to the Production/Sales incentive earned is less than the guarantee, the Team Member is paid guarantee/draw only.
Vacation Policy #
Annual vacation benefits, with pay, are based upon length of service. Full-time Team Members become eligible for vacation pay as follows:

- Vacations begin after your one-year anniversary, and after January 1 of succeeding calendar years.
- Vacation may be taken only by eligible regular, full-time Team Members. Probationary, temporary and part-time Team Members may be given time off without pay at the discretion of the General Manager or Regional/Division Manager or Corporate Manager.
- To be eligible for vacation with pay, a Team Member must qualify by working a minimum of 40 weeks, 200 workdays, during the previous calendar year (first 12 months of employment for new Team Members).
- **In the event a Team Member is unable to work a minimum of 40 weeks, 200 workdays, during the previous calendar year due to a Leave of Absence, vacation for the next year will be prorated to half of the vacation benefit according to length of service once 40 weeks, 200 work days, have been met in the current calendar year.
- Vacation time is granted when convenient during the vacation year, considering both the wishes of the Team Member and efficient operation of the Company. If possible, vacations should be a minimum of (1) week’s duration. In certain circumstances, a two- or three-week vacation may be approved by the Regional/Division Manager, Corporate Management, and/or President.
- If a holiday observed by the Company falls within the vacation period taken, holiday pay will be applied instead of vacation pay for that day.
- It is the policy of the Company that Team Members take time off for vacation. Therefore, the Company will not pay in lieu of vacation therefore, unused vacation days cannot be carried forward into the next year.
For Example – Date of Employment 3/1/2020 and 11/15/2022
| Employment Anniversary Date | Vacation Days Earned | Period during which vacation must be taken | Vacation taken during period | Forfeited Vacation Days |

* For Team Members whose anniversary is within the last two months of the year, arrangements should be made with their manager as to whether any of their vacation may be taken earlier or carried forward to the next year.
- It is the responsibility of General Managers and Regional/Division Managers to prepare a vacation schedule early each year to include all the eligible Team Members within their respective areas of responsibility. This schedule should be submitted to the Regional/Division Manager or appropriate Director/Vice President, on/or before February 15th of each year. Team Member vacation schedule preferences should be based on Team Member seniority.
- Team Members reinstated from military service become eligible for vacation as if they had been actively employed by the Company.
(Terminating Team Members must refer to Policy #346 “Layoff, Reemployment and Termination” for clarification on terminations and calculation of unused vacation pay).

A Team Member must work both the last workday preceding and the first work day following a holiday in order to receive pay for the holiday, unless specifically excused prior to the absence by their Manager.

Massey Paid Time Off (PTO) Policy #

These PTO days may be used at the Team Member’s discretion, including but not limited to personal time, illness, medical appointments, or care of an immediate family member (spouse and/or child). This benefit is intended to provide flexibility and should not be abused.
PTO days:
- May not be accumulated or carried forward into the next calendar year.
- Will not be paid in lieu of PTO not taken.
- Must be pre-approved in accordance with scheduling and operational needs, except in cases of unplanned absences.

Extended Illness #
This benefit is offered to regular, full-time Team Members with a non-job-related injury or illness (job related injuries are covered under the State Worker’s Compensation Program). Extended illness (over five (5) consecutive workdays) will be paid according to the “Team Member Length of Service Qualifications” Schedule outlined in this section.

This certification must include the date on which the serious health condition began; the probable duration of the condition; appropriate medical facts regarding the condition; and a statement that the team member is unable to perform their job functions. If the team member is released with restrictions that can be accommodated, this benefit will not be paid.

Attendance Calendar #
Timely and regular attendance is an expectation of performance for all team members. If you manage a team member you are responsible to monitor their attendance. The attendance calendar is the method to track team members attendance and it’s to be used to track every team member absence or tardiness according to the reason code identified on the calendar.
This information is a critical part of your team member recordkeeping requirements. You as a manager are to keep track and send to Human Resources any employee instructions applicable to a team members attendance.
*Refer to Policy #342 Absenteeism & Tardiness
Special Note: The Company offers an optional Short-Term Disability (STD) and Long-Term Disability (LTD) insurance plan to provide additional protection against a disabling illness or non-occupational accident should a Team Member elect to participate.
