Common use of Mandatory Vacation Clause in Contracts

Mandatory Vacation. The District shall be permitted (but not required) to schedule and require employees to take vacation under the following circumstances: a. On days designated by the District as school holidays or at any other time during the employee’s assignment period to avoid leave without pay: b. When the employee fails to provide an annual vacation schedule pursuant to Section 4.2, above; c. When the employee has accrued vacation in an amount equal to or greater than the vacation cap amount, as provided in Section 3.0 b above; d. When the employee is sent home pending the results of a disciplinary investigation, with the vacation used to be restored to the employee’s vacation balance if the investigation does not lead to discipline, and e. During periods within the employee’s assignment basis when the District is closed, when the employee’s work site is closed, or when there is a lack of work (unless the employee and the appropriate administrator agree that the employee may go unpaid during such a period). Where assignment of mandatory vacation is necessary due to lack of work as determined by management, volunteers shall be considered first; preference shall be given to employees in the affected classification at the site with the highest site seniority in classification. If the number of volunteers is insufficient, assignment of mandatory vacation shall be to those employees with the highest vacation balance. Exception to the foregoing may be made considering special needs, attendance records, the individual employee’s vacation balance, and/or previously approved scheduled vacation.
