Vacation
All permanent Mountaineers are eligible for paid vacation time, as shown below. Your vacation time is accrued weekly based upon your years of service and the policy reference year (January 1 – December 31). In other words, all vacation accrual increases occur on January 1 following your anniversary date. The accrual percentage is the percentage of your gross wages that are paid out when you take vacation. If you leave Iron Mountain, you will be paid for any unused vacation time.
