Common use of Vacation Selection Process Clause in Contracts

Vacation Selection Process. The annual vacation planner, with seasonal department vacation allotments, is initially posted each March 1st for viewing by employees, and a copy of the departmental vacation allotments will be forwarded to the Union. Commencing each April 1st to April 30th, department Managers will start the vacation selection process by meeting employees within the department, in descending seniority order, for the employee to select their vacation choice(s). The vacation choice may be for the whole or part of the vacation year. Once vacation blocks are awarded during the open periods in accordance with an employee’s seniority and preference, a vacation block awarded to a junior employee cannot be displaced by a late request from a senior employee. Vacation time held in reserve by the employee, or not awarded during the twice-annual open periods, may be requested at any time, but is awarded on a first-come first-served basis. Where unused vacation remains unscheduled by each February 28th, the Employer will schedule an employee’s remaining unused vacation during the last three (3) months of the vacation year (i.e. March to May), after consulting with the employee. The selection of vacation is to be consistent with the principles of seniority and the awarding of vacation is to be consistent with the operational requirements of the department.
