ANNUAL VACATIONS 15.01 Employees shall be entitled to an annual vacation after one (1) year of employment with pay, calculated as follows:
(a) 3/52nds of the earnings of that year of service after one (1) year and each subsequent year thereafter, up to and including five (5) completed years of service;
(b) 4/52nds of the earnings for the year commencing after five (5) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter, up to ten (10) completed years of service;
(c) 5/52nds of the earnings after ten (10) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter.
15.02 For other than full-time employees, all vacation pay will be paid to employees on December 15th in each year unless the employee requests vacation pay when a holiday is taken. In such circumstances, the employee will receive vacation pay requested at that time or a portion of the payment at that time and the balance on December 15th. Part-time employees will be allowed to make two (2) such requests per year based on earnings to June 30th. Full-time employees will receive vacation pay when they take their vacation.
15.03 Employees who are hospitalized or make use of compassionate leave during their vacation period shall be credited with extra vacation time equivalent to the time used.
15.04 Vacations cannot be accumulated from one year to another.
15.05 When a statutory holiday occurs during an employee’s vacation, an extra day’s vacation shall be granted if the holiday is one for which the employee would have received pay if he/she had been working.
15.06 If the employment of an employee is terminated, the Employer shall pay him/her for any vacation time he/she has earned.
15.07 A vacation list shall be submitted to the employees requesting them to indicate their preference as to vacation dates. Both parties agree, however, that the vacation schedule must be practical insofar as the operation of the business is concerned and therefore the Employer is able to make a final decision as to how many and which employees would be able to take vacation at any particular time. Seniority shall prevail in the event of a conflict of vacation requests between employees.
VACATIONS 18.1 The effective date for vacations earned shall be the employee's anniversary date and shall accrue according to the following schedule: YEARS OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE ANNUAL VACATION DAYS 1-7.9 10 days 8-17.9 15 days 18-24.9 20 days 25+ 25 days
18.2 Employees working ten months or less per year are not entitled to vacation. When an employee is transferred or promoted from a ten-month employment to a twelve-month employment, years of service for the purpose of calculating vacation time will be based upon the employee’s number of years of employment, times the number of days per year of such employment, times the number of hours worked each day of the year divided by 2080 hours (number of years employed x number of days per year x number of hours worked each day ÷ 2080 hours).
18.3 Payment for unused vacation leave will be made in the case of the death of the employee. Otherwise an employee, in order to receive vacation pay, must be in the actual employ of the Employer at the time he takes his vacation, except that an employee, who has resigned with two weeks' notice and who has not received his vacation pay to which he is entitled, shall receive his vacation pay at the next regular pay period.
18.4 When a holiday occurs during the vacation of an employee, when the schools and the school offices are closed, the said holiday shall not be counted as part of the vacation allowance of said employee.
18.5 Employees working twelve (12) calendar months shall normally be required to take their vacation during the summer when regular school is not in session, or during the winter (Christmas) or spring (Easter) periods when school is not in regular session; provided however, if the work schedule of a department will be seriously handicapped by limiting the vacations to such periods for all employees, the department head may permit vacation to be taken at other times. The Employer reserves the right to limit the number of employees who will be permitted to take vacation days off at any given time in order to insure efficient operation. In cases where a conflict occurs between two (2) or more employees and not all can be accommodated, the employee with the greatest length of service in the school district shall have the preference. Employees authorized to take vacation days at a time other than summer, winter (Christmas), spring (Easter) periods when schools are not in session, shall to the fullest extent possible, take such vacations in maximums of one week at a time.
18.6 No vacation allowance may be earned during the period of an unpaid leave of absence or suspension.
18.7 Vacation days may not be accumulated from one year to succeeding years without the written consent of the Superintendent or Director of Human Resources. Unless requested in writing by the Employer, failure to utilize accrued vacation within the 12-month period following the employee's anniversary date will result in a loss of the accrued vacation. In the event of a layoff, if vacation cannot be scheduled prior to the layoff, vacation will be paid at the next regular payroll after the layoff.
18.8 Within thirty (30) days’ notice prior to an employee’s anniversary date, an employee may cash in five (5) days of vacation at that employee’s regular hourly rate of pay, payable in the next payroll processing period.
