Vacation Periods. Vacation shall be taken at times selected by employees, subject to supervisory approval. Within a Department, choice of available vacation time shall be determined by time in the Department provided the request is submitted at least thirty (30) days in advance of the vacation period. Once a vacation request has been approved, that request shall be honored and an employee with more time in the department shall not bump another employee from taking an approved vacation. Specific vacation request procedures may be implemented by Departments. While the Employer may limit the number of employees who may be gone at any one time based on staffing needs, the Employer shall not limit by procedure or rule the amount of earned vacation leave any one employee can take at any one time. The designated or appropriate administrator shall give reasonable consideration to vacation requests and shall respond promptly to any request and respond to any request submitted at least thirty (30) days in advance within five (5) calendar days of receipt of the written request. Any employee who is about to lose vacation leave because they have been denied a vacation request made in accordance with a department's leave policy and will therefore reach the maximum accumulation, shall be entitled to take one week of vacation to prevent such loss upon advance notice of seven (7) calendar days to their supervisor, or shall be allowed to cash out one (1) week of vacation.
