Because this period may vary from year to year employees will be given as much advance notice of the vacation period as possible, but never less than thirty (30) calendar days. All employees will be expected to take their vacation during the vacation period. During this period employees may be required to take vacation up to a maximum of four (4) weeks. For example, if the plant is closed for six (6) weeks, employees will only be required to take the first four (4) consecutive weeks as vacation.
