Common use of Vacation Approval Clause in Contracts

Vacation Approval. The times during the calendar year at which an employee shall take vacation shall be determined by the Department Head with due regard for the wishes of the employee and particular regard for the needs of the service. Whenever practical, employees working in the same classification within a division or agency shall be given preference of vacation time by seniority. If the City cannot allow the vacation that the employee requested, the employee, with the Department Head's approval (if the service permits), may take vacation at another mutually agreed upon time during the same calendar year. If the requirements of the service are such that a Department Head cannot permit an employee within the department to take an annual vacation leave, or any part of such leave within a particular calendar year, the City Manager may permit the employee to take the deferred vacation during the following year. In no instance shall an employee lose his or her entitlement to vacation earned but not taken under the circumstances described in this section.
