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 supervisors shall, upon request, be entitled to advance of hours in order to provide the supervisor with up to eighty (80) hours of earnings for a pay period. Advance of hours shall be allowed up to the maximum number of hours of a supervisor's accumulated and unused vacation leave. If a supervisor elects to draw such advances, the supervisor shall not be permitted to reduce his/her vacation accumulation below the total hours advanced. However, except as provided below, no supervisor 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 supervisor has been advanced under this Section. The Appointing Authority may require that supervisors use compensatory time before use of vacation or supervisors may elect no pay. Other than full-time unlimited supervisors may use compensatory time during a limited interruption. With the approval of the supervisor's superior, the supervisor shall have the right to make the hours up. On the payroll period ending closest to November 1st of each year, all supervisors who have received such advances and have not worked sufficient overtime hours to reduce the advances to zero (0) will have their advances reduced to zero (0) by reduction of the supervisor's accumulated and unused vacation leave. However, such advances shall not apply when the limited interruption is the result of a shortage of funds.
