Common use of Special circumstances requests Clause in Contracts

Special circumstances requests. An employee may, no more than once every five (5) calendar years, exercise his or her option superseding seniority by requesting vacation time that is needed more than one block in advance before the request deadline for the block that precedes the one in which the dates occur, but within two (2) years of the request for a special circumstance (e.g., a wedding or graduation). This option will be deemed exercised at the time the vacation is granted. Employees whose request is approved shall not be displaced by an employee subsequently requesting vacation for the same time. Nor may an employee whose request is approved contemporaneously exercise any option under Section 13.6.1 for the same block. Employees who withdraw their special circumstance request prior to the in-block deadline for the affected block will be deemed not to have exercised this option. Upon completion of the vacation, the next five (5) year cycle begins.
