Common use of Limited Interruptions of Employment Clause in Contracts

Limited Interruptions of Employment. Any interruption in employment not in excess of ten (10) consecutive working days because of adverse weather conditions, shortage of material or equipment, or for other unexpected or unusual reasons shall not be considered a layoff. In the event limited interruptions of employment occur, full-time employees shall, upon request, be entitled to an advance of hours in order to provide the employees with up to eighty (80) hours of earnings for a pay period. An advance of hours shall be allowed up to the maximum number of hours of an employee's accumulated and unused vacation leave. If an employee elects to draw such advances, the employee shall not be permitted to reduce their vacation accumulation below the total hours advanced. However, no employee after the first six (6) months of continuous service shall be denied the right to use vacation time during a limited interruption of employment as long as vacation hours accrued exceed the hours that the employee has been advanced under this Section. With the approval of the employee's supervisor, the employee shall have the right to make up the hours. On the payroll period ending closest to November 1 of each year, all employees who have received such advances and have not worked sufficient overtime hours to reduce the advances to zero (0) will have their advance reduced to zero (0) by reduction of the employee's accumulated and unused vacation leave.
