Qualifying for Benefits

We have a minimum number of hours (30) an employee must work to qualify as full time for the purpose of health insurance benefits. Do any of you have a minimum number of weeks an employee must be actively at work to qualify for benefits? Our carrier has informed us that it's in our contract that this is 48 weeks out of the year. This leaves 4 weeks for vacation time, etc. We have many people who get 5-6 weeks of vacation/year.
Have any of you run into this issue and how do you handle it?
Thanks

Perhaps you need to look at re-writing your contract to remove the number of weeks per year.
