(a)

Regular full-time employees shall accrue annual leave based on actual hours worked beginning on the first day of employment.

All regular full-time employees shall accrue annual leave based on the following schedule:

Annual Hours Earned Based on Hours Worked

No more than five (5) weeks of annual leave can be carried over into calendar year 2007 and future years.
