ANNUAL VACATIONS 15.01 Employees shall be entitled to an annual vacation after one (1) year of employment with pay, calculated as follows:
(a) 3/52nds of the earnings of that year of service after one (1) year and each subsequent year thereafter, up to and including five (5) completed years of service;
(b) 4/52nds of the earnings for the year commencing after five (5) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter, up to ten (10) completed years of service;
(c) 5/52nds of the earnings after ten (10) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter.
15.02 For other than full-time employees, all vacation pay will be paid to employees on December 15th in each year unless the employee requests vacation pay when a holiday is taken. In such circumstances, the employee will receive vacation pay requested at that time or a portion of the payment at that time and the balance on December 15th. Part-time employees will be allowed to make two (2) such requests per year based on earnings to June 30th. Full-time employees will receive vacation pay when they take their vacation.
15.03 Employees who are hospitalized or make use of compassionate leave during their vacation period shall be credited with extra vacation time equivalent to the time used.
15.04 Vacations cannot be accumulated from one year to another.

15.06 If the employment of an employee is terminated, the Employer shall pay him/her for any vacation time he/she has earned.
15.07 A vacation list shall be submitted to the employees requesting them to indicate their preference as to vacation dates. Both parties agree, however, that the vacation schedule must be practical insofar as the operation of the business is concerned and therefore the Employer is able to make a final decision as to how many and which employees would be able to take vacation at any particular time. Seniority shall prevail in the event of a conflict of vacation requests between employees.
VACATIONS Each 12 month employee shall accrue paid vacation leave according to the following schedule. Number of Vacation Days Years of Continuous Service Accrued Annually One to Five Years 10 days Six to Nine Years 11 days Ten to Fifteen Years 15 days Sixteen Years 16 days Seventeen Years 17 days Eighteen Years 18 days Nineteen Years 19 days Twenty Years 20 days Accrued vacation days are based upon regular hours of work for that employee. In other words, a day of vacation leave for a four (4) hour/day employee is equal to four (4) hours of vacation. Any employee working in a seasonal or summer position in any classification and who actually works at least three hundred fifty (350) hours for the summer, shall accrue one (1) week of paid vacation to be paid during the following winter or spring break at their regular rate times their summer/seasonal weekly hours. Newly hired twelve (12) month employees must have completed one (1) year of continuous service to be eligible to take vacation. Current employees transferring from a non-twelve (12) month position to a twelve (12) month position shall begin to accrue vacation upon the effective date of the new position and may begin to take vacation after it has accrued. The employee shall be eligible to accrue vacation based on the total years of continuous service with the District. Employees transferring from a twelve (12) month position to a non-twelve (12) shall be paid out for any accrued but unused vacation at their twelve (12) month pay rate. Eligible employees shall be permitted to take vacation time at any time of the vacation year provided that the employee's department or building will not be seriously handicapped by the absence. The Board of Education shall have the right to limit the number of employees taking vacations at any one time. In cases where conflicts occur between two or more employees in the same job classification, and not all can be accommodated, then the employee with the greatest classification seniority shall have preference in vacation selection. Should such conflict occur between employees in different job classifications, the employee with the greatest district seniority shall have preference. The appropriate supervisor will analyze all requests, place the vacation requests on a calendar and notify the employees of their approved vacation date. In the event conflicts in vacation requests occur, the supervisor will assign alternate vacation dates to the employee with less seniority, provided effective and efficient service can be maintained within the employee's department or building. Employees may use vacation provided that they have given at least two (2) weeks written notice to their immediate supervisor and provided that the vacation is otherwise approved by the employee’s supervisor. In the event of extreme hardship or extenuating circumstances, the Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee may allow a vacation period with less than the required two (2) week of notice. The Board of Education shall notify employees of the identity of his/her immediate supervisor. The vacation year shall be the District's fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). Accrued but unused vacation may be carried over from one vacation year to the next up to a maximum of forty five (45) days. Accrued vacation in excess of forty five (45) days will be forfeited. If an employee is hospitalized while on vacation, the employee may request the Human Resources office to change his or her status from "vacation" to "sick leave" for the scheduled vacation days the employee is actually hospitalized. At the time an employee ceases to be employed by the Board, he or she shall be paid all accrued but unused vacation and such additional vacation for the current fiscal year prorated from the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of his or her resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided herein, vacation pay shall be based upon the employee's hourly rate of pay at the time the payment is made. No vacation allowance may be earned during the period of leave of absence or suspension. Supervisors and Principals shall be notified of vacation days available to employees under their supervision.
