Common use of Changes To The Posted Schedule Clause in Contracts

Changes To The Posted Schedule. 1. Unless the employee(s) are allowed to retain their bidded vacation, additional columns or partial columns will be opened during the year to accommodate additional vacations because of an increase in complement (transfers) or changes in the work group which increase the number of weeks to be taken. In all other cases, any open week on the vacation schedule will be available for employees within the vacation bid group who wish to switch their scheduled weeks of vacation. 2. An employee must notify the supervisor at least two (2) weeks prior to the employee's scheduled vacation period or two weeks prior to the effective date of the vacation period the employee wished to select, whichever occurs first. The request must be made in writing. If the employee is the most senior employee to make such a request, the supervisor will approve the change and the posted vacation schedule will be revised accordingly.
