Use of Annual Leave. Except as otherwise noted, annual leave will be granted as requested by the employee and consistent with the operational requirements of the work unit. When such operational requirements limit the number of employees who may be absent at any one time, the employee with the greatest seniority shall be given preference in scheduling absences. The Chief of Police may defer annual leave as appropriate or require advance scheduling of annual leave to provide for adequate staffing levels and orderly operation of the department, provided that, in so doing, employees shall not be required to lose accrued annual leave under the maximum carry-over provisions as contained in Section 20.02.
