4.37 Vacation/Leave Time for Associates

The Company encourages a balanced lifestyle and vacation. The Company does not control Associate’s time off except as noted herein. If an Associate plans to be absent from the Company for any significant period of time, he or she must inform the Company in writing. A substitute agent approved by the Manager or Broker must be assigned to cover for you during any absence. Failure to do this will require the Company to make necessary assignments and determine the appropriate compensation, if any. You must always **notify the Manager in writing of your absence prior to leaving on vacation.
