VACATION OPTION ELECTION
Wisconsin Building Trades Employees

The Building Trades Contract allows Craftsworkers to elect an additional 40 hours of vacation and if elected they receive a lower adjusted prevailing state rate. The 40 hours are prorated based on the FTE.

For employees with 20 or more years of service may elect an additional 40 hours of vacation (4th week) at a lower adjusted prevailing state rate.

If an employe elects the additional 40 hours annual leave, this will result in a reduced prevailing rate. This will effect an employe's Income Continuation insurance, the amount of State Group Life Insurance, as well as the final average earnings for computing a retirement benefit, and the value of a sick leave account upon retirement.

Employees must elect this option in writing prior to January 1, of each year. Employees who do not elect an option will remain at their current vacation option.

If you have any questions regarding purchasing additional vacation, please contact your divisional payroll office.

Complete and return this form to your Payroll and Benefits Office.
