Requests for vacation leave shall be made on forms provided by the Employer to the immediate Supervisor no less than two (2) weeks in advance of the requested vacation time. Request for vacation with less than two (2) weeks’ notice may be approved by the Department Head. Vacation shall be granted at the time requested by the Employee unless the nature of the work makes it necessary to limit the number of Employees on vacation at the same time. On or before February 1 of each year, Employees desiring specific times for vacation shall submit their requests to the Department Head or his/her authorized representative. If there is a conflict of vacation periods, the Employee with the greater seniority shall have first choice.

If an Employee bumps someone out of a vacation, the Employee will be required to take those days off unless there are extenuating circumstances. Between February 1 and June 1 of each year an Employee may request a specific vacation time provided it does not conflict with those Employees who had made such determination prior to February 1. Between June 1 and October 1, vacations will be subject to approval by the Department Head or their designee.
