Common use of Vacation Sign-Up Clause in Contracts

Vacation Sign-Up. Vacation sign-ups shall occur every six months during the designated shift rotations as outlined in Section 6.1.2 of this MOU. Employees will sign up for vacation based on seniority within their assigned work unit using the Vacation Sign-Up Roster. Employees who do not sign up during shift rotation will be able to sign up for vacation beyond the traditional shift sign up period only if the desired week(s) are open and available. Employees may take a single vacation day only if the following criteria are met: 1. The single day vacation is selected 120 hours prior to the date to be taken. 2. The single vacation day does not cause the employee’s assigned shift to go below the minimum staffing requirements. 3. The single vacation day may be denied between 120 and 71 hours in advance of the date to be taken if staffing is projected to fall below minimum staffing requirements due to additional employees using sick leave, comp time or for specific department needs. 4. If there are schedule changes due to additional employees using sick leave, comp time or other causes between 70 hours and the date to be taken, the department will honor the employee’s single vacation leave request and allow the employee to use the single vacation day. The Parties agree to discuss the vacation sign-up process (Section 5.2.4) and CTO (Section 6.2.2) during the term of this Agreement. The Parties must mutually agree to any changes to either or both sections.
