Vacation Account - Two Types of Payouts

Automatic Payout - Applications for your vacation payout will be mailed to you around October 15th of each year from Zenith Administrators.  In order to receive your vacation check, you must fill out the form according to the directiions and return it to Zenith before the deadline in order to receive your check in December.  This check will pay you only for the time period of may of the previous year to May of the current year.
Special Payout - You are entitled to ONE special payout per calendar year.  You must fill out a special payout form on or before the 25th of each month to receive your check the following month.  A $7.00 service fee will be charged and will be taken off the top of your check amount.  You will receive all funds in your account minus the $7.00.  There are no special payouts in the month of December.  Forms are available in the office.
