Vacation Request and Usage Sample Clauses

Vacation Request and Usage. A bargaining unit member may request to use vacation leave as it accrues. Vacation leave requests shall be granted unless, in the supervisor’s opinion, it is impossible or impractical to do so because of work schedules or emergencies. The supervisor shall make reasonable efforts to insure that a bargaining unit member, having requested vacation leave, is granted such leave in order to prevent the loss of earned vacation. If a conflict in vacation requests arises, the supervisor shall give consideration to the employee(s) with the most seniority, provided that operational needs are met. A bargaining unit member who has available unused vacation leave, and who because of provisions of this article would lose such vacation leave, shall have such vacation leave converted to sick leave. Absences on account of sickness in excess of the authorized sick leave provided in this Agreement (or for personal reasons not provided for under said sick leave provisions) may be charged, unless the supervisor is otherwise notified by the bargaining unit member, to holiday compensatory time, personal leave, if any, then to vacation leave, if any.

Related to Vacation Request and Usage

  • Vacation Requests Regular employees become eligible for paid vacation leave once they have completed six (6) months of continuous employment. Vacations requests must be submitted by no later than January 31st to be scheduled for the vacation calendar year of April 1 - March 31. Vacation time may be divided into blocks of one to two weeks in duration. Scheduling of vacation shall be in accordance with seniority within a classification. Where an employee chooses to split their vacation, they shall exercise seniority rights in the choice of the first vacation period. Seniority shall prevail in the choice of the second vacation period but only after all other first vacation periods have been selected. Remaining vacation periods will be scheduled in a fair and equitable manner amongst employees within a classification. The approved vacation schedule will be posted at the worksite on or before February 28th in each year. Employees will be limited to booking a maximum of two (2) consecutive weeks of vacation during prime vacation period (June 15 - September 15; and December 15 - January 5), unless further consecutive weeks would not interfere with the vacation preferences of less senior employees. The Employer will make every effort to accommodate requests for vacation of more than two (2) consecutive weeks outside of prime vacation periods. Employees failing to exercise their right to request vacation within the vacation selection time posted by the Employer will forfeit their seniority rights with respect to choice of vacation time. In such cases, the Employer reserves the right to schedule vacation time for the employee. A maximum of two (2) weeks of vacation time may be carried forward from one year to another. Employees who wish to carry vacation forward should notify the Employer by January 31st. If the employee has not requested all of their vacation leave, the Employer reserves the right to schedule the remaining vacation days within the last four (4) months of the calendar year. The Employer may also pay out unused vacation credits at the end of February each calendar year.
