Scheduling Vacation Leave. Generally, each worker should be given a choice of time for vacation but the District reserves the right to schedule vacation leave at its convenience provided that every attempt is made to schedule vacation leave so that workers who choose to do so have at least five consecutive work days off and that such scheduling is not done in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Notwithstanding the District's right to schedule vacation leave, no worker who has received notice of layoff because of lack of work or lack of funds shall be placed on vacation leave without her/his consent during the 30 days immediately preceding the effective date of layoff. In case two workers in the same group wish to take vacations at the same time, first choice of vacation time will go to the person with the longest service in the District. After a schedule has been set, if a worker wishes to change vacation time, he/she may do so only if the change does not require any other worker to change a scheduled vacation. If a worker becomes seriously ill or is injured during a scheduled vacation period, the worker may submit a signed statement from a physician that the worker was unable to continue the vacation and have the time deducted from earned sick leave. The balance of the vacation may then be rescheduled.
