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.

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.

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.
Scheduling Vacations Vacations are to be scheduled in advance and taken at such reasonable times as approved by the employee's department with particular regard to the needs of the Employer, seniority of employee, and, insofar as practicable, with regard to the wishes of the employee.
