EIS Benefits


Time Off with Pay

Paid Holidays

Full time employees have 8 paid holidays per year:

  • New Year's Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Fourth of July
  • Labor Day
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • Day after Thanksgiving
  • Christmas Eve
  • Christmas Day

* EIS will publish a list of holidays each year.

Paid Vacation

The vacation allowance per year for full-time employees is as follows:

  • Year 1: 10 days*
  • Year 2: 11 days
  • Year 3: 12 days
  • Year 4: 13 days
  • Year 5: 14 days
  • Years 6+: 1 day additional each year up to 25 days maximum

* Partial years are pro-rated by completed months in service. For example, if an employee starts working for EIS on July 15, at December 31, the employee will have earned 5/12 or 4 days of the first year's allotted vacation time. Rounding will apply in uneven situations (>=.5 rounds up; <.5 rounds down). Any unearned (i.e. advanced) vacation days must be repaid to EIS if the employer-employee relationship is terminated for any reason. In the event of involuntary termination, any unused year vacation from the current year employment will be paid to the employee in their final check.

To request X days of vacation, the employee must request the vacation 4X calendar days in advance of the vacation. For example, if an employee would like to take 3 days of vacation, the request must be formally received 12 calendar days in advance. This procedure allows EIS management to appropriately plan and adjust resource schedules. To request vacation, send an electronic mail message to your Project Manager. Please state the days requested. Your Project Manager must approve your request. The minimum vacation time requested is half of a day.

The complete procedure for requesting time off & determining available vacation days can be found within the "Procedures" section of this handbook.

Jury Duty

Full time employees serving Jury Duty are paid their full salary less any Jury pay. Jury Duty-related expenses, including driving, will not be reimbursed by EIS. EIS management should be notified immediately upon receipt of a Jury summons. Prior to receiving salary treatment during Jury service, a copy of the Jury summons and Jury service check must be provided.
