Vacation, Holiday and Unemployment Plan

You’re in right away. If you are eligible, you automatically become a participant as of the first day that an employer contributes to the Plan on your behalf, based on your collective bargaining agreement. There are two types of participants:

• Your employer contributes to your individual account within the Plan
• Your employer contributes to the pooled Fund benefits on your behalf

Your employer makes all contributions. Employer contributions are specified by your collective bargaining agreement and are credited directly to your account or to the pooled Fund benefits.

It’s always all yours. You have a fully vested, nonforfeitable right to your account balance as of your first day of participation in the Plan.

Vacation*

You’ll get paid even when you are on vacation. Weekly vacation benefits vary from a minimum of $824 to a maximum of $2,189 for based on your classification.

When you are subject to a Furlough Program, no vacation benefits are payable from the Plan. In order to be eligible for supplementary vacation benefits from the Plan, you must maintain a $2,000 account balance.

Holiday*

Get paid when you’re out for a holiday. Holiday benefits vary from a minimum of $68 to a maximum of $282 based on your classification.
