PTO Scheduling. The Employer shall retain the right to determine policies of scheduling of PTO. Employees shall present written requests for PTO as far in advance as is possible, but not less than two (2) weeks before the schedule is posted. Employees shall be notified in writing within one (1) week after the request is submitted whether the PTO is approved. In the case of conflicting requests by employees for PTO or limitations imposed by the Employer on PTO requests, seniority shall prevail in assigning PTO provided the skills, abilities, experience, competence or qualifications of the employees affected are not significant factors as determined by the Employer. PTO requested during the Christmas or New Year’s holiday periods shall be assigned on a rotational basis. Employees requesting PTO at least ninety (90) days in advance will be notified in writing at least sixty (60) days in advance of the requested PTO whether this request is approved. Approved PTO shall not be affected by later requests unless mutually agreeable. The Employer will make a good faith effort to schedule weekends off before and after PTO. Employees shall not be required to find their own replacements for any PTO requests.
