Equitable Scheduling of Vacation Sample Clauses
Related to Equitable Scheduling of Vacation
Vacation Scheduling a) Vacations may be requested at any time of the year, subject to the restrictions below. The supervisor, or designate, will grant requests subject to operational requirements and in accordance with such vacation quotas as the Employer may set from time to time. Employees shall be advised of vacation quotas one month prior to the employees being required to submit their requests. Such quotas will not be unreasonably restrictive. b) Requests for vacation time from the Monday immediately following June 20th to the Sunday immediately following Labour Day (summer period) shall be made in writing to the Employer not later than March 1st in that year. The Employer will respond to such requests in writing by April 1st. An employee may be approved for a maximum of three (3) weeks of vacation during these peak times. c) Requests for Christmas/New Year’s vacation time between the Monday immediately following December 15th and the Sunday immediately following January 1st shall be made in writing to the Manager or designate not later than August 1st in that year. The Employer will respond to such requests in writing by September 1st. An employee may be granted a maximum of one (1) calendar week (or part thereof) over this period. d) March Break vacation requests shall be submitted to the immediate Manager or designate not later than November 1st of the preceding year. The Employer shall respond in writing by December 1st. e) In the event that the number of employees in each department or team requesting vacation for or during any part of the above peak periods exceeds the number which the Employer has determined might be permitted vacation at that time, priority will be given based on seniority as per the posted seniority list. f) Notwithstanding e) above, in granting vacation requests during peak periods, the Employer will grant requests for full weeks of vacation prior to granting requests for partial weeks of vacation, so that a request for less than one week’s vacation cannot prevent another employee from taking a full week of vacation. A full week of vacation shall be defined as Monday through Sunday. g) Requests for vacation for other periods outside of peak times shall be submitted by the employee to their immediate supervisor not less than three (3) weeks prior to the first day of the vacation period. The immediate supervisor shall reply within one (1) week from the date of the request. These requests shall be considered on the basis of first come first served. h) If a request is submitted outside of the time period outlined above or additional vacation time becomes available, it may be approved at the Employer's discretion provided no employee, who submitted in compliance with the above timelines, was denied the same time period.
Part-time Scheduling Subject to Section B of this Article, the Employer and the Association endorse the principle that less than full time equivalent ("FTE") positions shall, within reason, be expected to work a biweekly work period that equates to an eighty (80) hour work period multiplied by the position's FTE. (e.g., 80 hours @ .75 = 60 hours). It is further understood by both parties that ASF Members assigned to less than a FTE position may be required, during the peak work periods, to exceed their normal biweekly work period. FLSA non-exempt ASF Members who work a part-time schedule will earn overtime for hours worked in excess of forty (40) in a work week. The Employer agrees to review any ASF position that is less than one (1) FTE if the Association can demonstrate that the position has regularly been required to work a work period that substantially exceeds the normal work period as defined above, and adjust the FTE of the respective position as deemed appropriate by the Employer.
Splitting of Vacation Periods Annual vacations for employees with ten (10) work days’ vacation or more shall be granted in one (1) continuous period but may, upon request from the employee, be divided, subject to the approval of the Employer, provided that the following shall apply: 1. The Employer’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, taking into consideration the operational requirements of the department; and 2. At least one block of vacation shall be at least five (5) days in duration. Employees wishing to split their vacations shall exercise seniority rights in the choice of the first vacation period. Seniority shall prevail in the choice of the second vacation period, but only after all other “first” vacation periods have been approved. Seniority shall also prevail in the choice of each subsequent vacation period, but only after each previous vacation period has been approved. Annual vacations for employees with less than ten (10) work days’ vacation shall be granted in one (1) continuous period.
