For a period of time off of five days or more, a bargaining unit member shall request of the supervisor to schedule time off by submitting a request in writing a maximum of six months in advance of the calendar month in which the initial date of the requested ETO occurs. The Hospital will respond in writing to such request no later than 15 weekdays after the date of the receipt of the request. Preference for available time off will be given to the request received on the earliest date, Monday through Friday. In the event two or more bargaining unit members request the same period of time off on the same date, the Hospital will seek to accommodate the requests, but if both requests cannot be accommodated, the senior bargaining unit member shall be given preference. However, the senior bargaining unit member cannot exercise this preference more than once in a two-year period. The Hospital will continue its practice of circulating request forms for the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s holidays and rotating time off on those holidays unless the bargaining unit members in the department agree in their department guidelines to an alternative holiday scheduling system. If the alternate holiday system cannot reasonably be implemented by the staffing office, the Union and the Hospital shall meet to resolve the problem.
