How Much Vacation Time Do You Get at Home Depot After 2 Years?

By Michael Ferguson

If you’ve been working at Home Depot for two years or more, you might be wondering how much vacation time you’re entitled to. Well, the good news is that Home Depot offers vacation time to eligible associates, and the amount of time off you can take depends on your length of service and position.

Eligibility

Before we dive into the specifics of how much vacation time you can get at Home Depot after two years, let’s first talk about eligibility. To be eligible for vacation time at Home Depot, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must be a full-time or part-time associate
  • You must have completed at least one year of continuous service with the company
  • You must be in good standing (i.e. not on a performance improvement plan or disciplinary action)

If you meet these criteria, then congratulations – you’re eligible for vacation time!

Vacation Time Accrual

Now let’s get to the meat of the matter – how much vacation time can you get at Home Depot after two years? Well, it depends on your position and length of service.

Full-Time Associates

If you’re a full-time associate (i. working 40 hours per week), then your vacation accrual rate is based on your length of service as follows:

  • Less than 5 years: 2 weeks (80 hours) per year
  • 5-14 years: 3 weeks (120 hours) per year
  • 15+ years: 4 weeks (160 hours) per year

So if you’ve been with Home Depot for two years as a full-time associate, then you would be entitled to two weeks (80 hours) of vacation time per year.

Part-Time Associates

If you’re a part-time associate (i. working less than 40 hours per week), then your vacation accrual rate is based on the average number of hours you work per week over a 12-month period. Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Less than 20 hours per week: No vacation time
  • 20-29 hours per week: 1 week (40 hours) per year
  • 30-34 hours per week: 2 weeks (80 hours) per year
  • 35+ hours per week: Same as full-time associates (see above)

So if you’ve been with Home Depot for two years as a part-time associate working an average of 25 hours per week, then you would be entitled to one week (40 hours) of vacation time per year.

Taking Vacation Time

Once you’ve accrued vacation time, you can take it at any point during the year with your manager’s approval. You can also carry over up to two weeks of unused vacation time from one year to the next, but any unused time beyond that will be forfeited.

In Conclusion

So there you have it – if you’ve been working at Home Depot for two years or more, then you’re eligible for vacation time. The amount of time off you can take depends on your position and length of service, but whether you’re a full-time or part-time associate, there’s something for everyone. Just make sure to plan ahead and get your manager’s approval before taking any time off!
