Requesting Vacation Time. Bargaining unit employees shall request vacation at times convenient to the bargaining unit employee and consistent with the needs of the district.
Requesting Vacation Time. Employees shall be permitted to request vacation on either a split or an entire basis. Vacation times shall be scheduled by operation, the availability of vacation relief, and the City’s right to so arrange scheduling that each employee has an opportunity, if he chooses, to use at some time during the next year, the full amount of vacation credit which he could accumulate in 12 months of continuous service. Subject to the foregoing, the employee shall have the right to determine vacation times. An employee must make a written request for vacation 14 days in advance. Vacation times shall be selected on the basis of seniority, defined as the employee’s length of continuous service within the bargaining unit. Conflicting requests for the same vacation time shall be resolved on the basis of such seniority, but an employee shall be permitted to exercise his right of seniority only once annually. Only one Airport employee in a given classification may be on vacation or on compensation time leave at any given time.
Requesting Vacation Time. All vacation requests received will be considered on a first come, first accommodated basis. No vacation requests will be unreasonably denied. Where the Employer denies the vacation of an employee, the Employer will provide a written statement outlining the reason(s) for the Denial. If multiple employees request vacation on the same dates and the store needs cannot accommodate all requests, the senior employee shall be granted vacation subject to management approval, which will include considerations such as the reason for the request and prior year’s vacation time. Vacation requests are to be made within four (4) weeks prior to the work schedule being posted within which the first date of the requested vacation period falls. All vacation requests are to be submitted in writing. Employees will be notified of the status of their vacation request within seven (7) days of providing the request to management. Subject to store needs, vacation may be taken in single-day allotments. Requests to book vacation in a continuous block will not be unreasonably denied. Employees are encouraged to use their entire vacation entitlement in each calendar year in which it is earned.
Requesting Vacation Time. The Company has the right to restrict the number of employees who may take their vacation at any one time on a department basis. The Company will endeavour to allow a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the employees in a department to be absent for vacation purposes at any one time.
