Vacation Process. (i) A twelve (12) month vacation calendar will be posted by October 1 to allow each nurse the ability to view their vacation entitlement and the unit’s vacation quotas. The Employer will personally contact each nurse so that they can indicate their vacation requests for the calendar year in order of seniority. Each nurse will be permitted twenty-four (24) hours to complete their requests starting with the most senior nurse. Approved requests will not be changed once submitted. Vacation requests will be approved and granted on the basis of seniority. In normal tour units only plus Dialysis, a request for vacation that results in seven consecutive calendar days being off will be considered prior to a request for single days. Where single vacation days are requested and not approved, the Employer will personally contact each nurse so that they can indicate their single day vacation requests for the calendar year in order of seniority. Each nurse will be permitted with fifteen (15) minutes to complete their requests starting with the most senior. Nurses who do not complete their request during their allotted time frame will have their request considered after all other nurses have had the opportunity to submit their requests and approval has been posted. (ii) Authorized time off will be posted by December 1. (iii) Once an employee has indicated a preferred vacation period, she or he may not exercise seniority rights to change this stated period. (iv) If a nurse is on days off, off ill, or on a vacation or LOA longer than twenty-four (24) hours, the nurse shall leave her or his vacation request in order of preference with the Unit Manager before commencing time off.
