Non-Peak Periods. An employee wishing to take vacation leave in non-peak periods shall apply in writing for the desired period of leave at least one week prior to the commencement of such leave. Employees' vacation requests will be considered and approved by seniority up to two-thirds of their total entitlement as long as the request is submitted to the Employer by the same deadlines noted in (a) above. The remaining one-third of vacation entitlement will be considered and approved by the order in which it was received by the Employer. No employee who has vacation approved will have that vacation displaced by another employee's request. The Employer will grant an employee's non-peak requested dates except where it will seriously affect operational requirements. The Employer's decision will be communicated within five working days of the request when it is for time other than peak periods. The parties agree to review the implementation of Clause 18.3 (a) and (b) not earlier than September 2017. Should the Employer demonstrate that the amended 18.3(a) and (b) is failing to meet their objectives, the parties will meet to discuss the failures, examine the evidence, and craft a mutually agreeable solution. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a solution the issue will be renewed to an interest arbitrator not later than November 1, 2017.
