Common use of Scheduling Time Off Clause in Contracts

Scheduling Time Off. The City reserves the right to determine the maximum number of employees in any job classification and/or in the Department to be scheduled off at any one time, day, shift or season. Such determination shall be made based on the total amount of vacation to be accrued by employees minus the amount of vacation for which employees have elected to receive compensation under Section 11.03. The City will meet and confer with the Union regarding the determination prior to the annual time off bid. Time off (the aggregate of time accrued pursuant to Section 11.01, subdivisions 2 and 4) to which each twenty-four (24) hour shift employee is entitled shall be scheduled prior to January 1st of each calendar year for the ensuing calendar year. Time off shall be scheduled at such reasonable times as approved by the City with particular regard to the seniority of involved employees and the needs of the Department and, insofar as practicable, with regard to the wishes of involved employees. At the time of electing to exercise the right to receive compensation for vacation under Section 11.03, an employee may also elect to withhold up to four (4) full 24-hour shifts from the annual time off bid. After the annual time off bid is completed, the City will provide a monthly notice of days in which the number of employees scheduled to be off is fewer than the number allowed to be off (“underutilized days”). To ensure the accuracy of the notice, the Employer will present and discuss the underutilized days with the Union at the monthly LMC meeting, if possible, prior to posting. The specific method of notice and the process for selection of underutilized days will be determined by the parties and periodically communicated to employees. However, once a withheld day has been granted for use on an underutilized day, the withheld day cannot be withdrawn or used to select another day off. If a withheld day(s) is not used to take time off, the employee may elect to carry over the day(s) to the next year and/or convert the day(s) to sick leave. However, an employee who has more than six (6) unverified uses of sick leave during the year may not convert withheld days to sick leave.
