Vacation Schedule 1. Vacation periods shall be fixed by the Employer to suit the requirements of his business, but as far as possible and practicable, vacations will be given during the summer months, and for employees with school-age children, during the school vacations. Vacation periods shall be unbroken unless by mutual consent between Employer and employee, or where it is impractical. Grievances relating to this Section shall be subject to the Adjustment and Arbitration Procedure in this Agreement. 2. Time off, based upon service in the Industry Vacation Plan, may be granted to an employee by mutual agreement between the Employer and the employee. The Employer shall not be required to give time off based upon service under the Industry Vacation Plan. However, if such additional industry vacation time off is granted to an employee, such time off shall be counted as time worked for the purpose of computing the employee's earned vacation benefits on his next anniversary date of employment.
Vacation Scheduling a) Vacations may be requested at any time of the year, subject to the restrictions below. The supervisor, or designate, will grant requests subject to operational requirements and in accordance with such vacation quotas as the Employer may set from time to time. Employees shall be advised of vacation quotas one month prior to the employees being required to submit their requests. Such quotas will not be unreasonably restrictive. b) Requests for vacation time from the Monday immediately following June 20th to the Sunday immediately following Labour Day (summer period) shall be made in writing to the Employer not later than March 1st in that year. The Employer will respond to such requests in writing by April 1st. An employee may be approved for a maximum of three (3) weeks of vacation during these peak times. c) Requests for Christmas/New Year’s vacation time between the Monday immediately following December 15th and the Sunday immediately following January 1st shall be made in writing to the Manager or designate not later than August 1st in that year. The Employer will respond to such requests in writing by September 1st. An employee may be granted a maximum of one (1) calendar week (or part thereof) over this period. d) March Break vacation requests shall be submitted to the immediate Manager or designate not later than November 1st of the preceding year. The Employer shall respond in writing by December 1st. e) In the event that the number of employees in each department or team requesting vacation for or during any part of the above peak periods exceeds the number which the Employer has determined might be permitted vacation at that time, priority will be given based on seniority as per the posted seniority list. f) Notwithstanding e) above, in granting vacation requests during peak periods, the Employer will grant requests for full weeks of vacation prior to granting requests for partial weeks of vacation, so that a request for less than one week’s vacation cannot prevent another employee from taking a full week of vacation. A full week of vacation shall be defined as Monday through Sunday. g) Requests for vacation for other periods outside of peak times shall be submitted by the employee to their immediate supervisor not less than three (3) weeks prior to the first day of the vacation period. The immediate supervisor shall reply within one (1) week from the date of the request. These requests shall be considered on the basis of first come first served. h) If a request is submitted outside of the time period outlined above or additional vacation time becomes available, it may be approved at the Employer's discretion provided no employee, who submitted in compliance with the above timelines, was denied the same time period.
