remainder

All first-year employees may now apply for the remainder of the summer vacation options, posted in the conference room.

May I ask what the remainder of the summer vacation options means?

Please advise.

Presumably the dates still available for them to take their summer vacation. It sounds as though senior staff get first pick of their holiday dates, and the new people have to take whatever's left.

The options that still remain, those that have not yet been reserved or used.
