four weeks.

Vacation credit is earned only for bi-weekly pay periods during which an
employee is in full pay status for at least seven of the ten workdays in the

pay period.
An employee is also credited with additional vacation each year upon

completion of 20 or more years of service. He or she receives one
additional day each year for 20 to 24 years of service, two days for 25 to

29 years, three days for 30 to 34 years, and four days for each year of
service starting with the 35th year.

Upon completion of from one to 35 or more years of service vacation is
earned and accumulated in accordance with the following schedule:
