Yes! With 2 weeks vacation (50 weeks worked = 2,000 hours), the hourly rate is slightly higher. With 4 weeks vacation (48 weeks worked = 1,920 hours), it's higher still, since you're earning the same annual amount in fewer hours.

Part-time hourly rates are higher since you're working fewer hours to earn the same annual salary. For example, working 20 hours/week would double your hourly rate compared to 40 hours/week.
