Schedule Vacations Clause Samples

The 'Schedule Vacations' clause establishes the rules and procedures for employees to request and take vacation time. Typically, it outlines how far in advance vacation requests must be submitted, any blackout periods when vacations are not permitted, and the process for approval by management. This clause ensures that vacation scheduling is handled fairly and predictably, helping to balance employee needs with the operational requirements of the organization.
Schedule Vacations. When consistent with the department's need for appropriate staffing, seniority shall be used to schedule vacations up to April 1, for each calendar year. After that date, vacations for that calendar year shall be scheduled on a first come, first served basis giving due consideration to departmental staffing needs. Seniority may be used once each calendar year for vacation selection. Part-time employees will not have seniority bidding for vacations. Vacations will be scheduled by the city and are subject to approval by the supervisor based on business necessity and so as not to disrupt the employee’s right to seniority bid.
