Common use of Voluntary Time Off Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Time Off. 1. At times, based upon current business needs, the Company may solicit Flight Attendants to accept voluntary time off with or without pay. The Company will designate whether such voluntary time off will be paid or unpaid (and the number of hours of pay available to volunteers). Such requests are generally for no more than thirty (30) days. Such requests will be made available to Flight Attendants in seniority order with the most senior Flight Attendant having the first right of refusal to any Company offered voluntary time off with or without pay. A Flight Attendant who is scheduled for training during the period of time off will be required to attend the training if failing to do so will cause the Flight Attendant to become de-qualified. Nothing herein shall preclude the Flight Attendant from taking the training at an earlier date if available and approved by the Company. The Flight Attendant will be paid for such training in accordance with Section 3. A Flight Attendant on voluntary time off may not bid for open trips or other paid assignments. The Company will post these offers electronically.
