Day at a Time (DAT) Vacation Clause Samples

The Day at a Time (DAT) Vacation clause allows employees to take vacation leave in single-day increments rather than requiring longer, continuous periods of time off. Under this clause, employees can request and use vacation days as needed, such as taking a single day off for personal matters or appointments, rather than being restricted to week-long vacations. This flexibility helps employees better manage their work-life balance and ensures that time off can be tailored to individual needs, addressing the problem of rigid vacation scheduling.
Day at a Time (DAT) Vacation. The following guidelines shall control DAT vacations: 1. DATs may be set aside during the first vacation selection round. 2. At least one (1) five (5) day block of vacation must be bid. 3. If less than five (5) days of vacation are accrued, DATs may be taken. 4. Each bid of work schedules provided in Article Six, Section 1, Paragraph D, shall include an appropriate number of days available for DAT vacations. The appropriate number of DAT days shall be calculated by dividing the total number of DAT days remaining after the completion of the vacation selection process by three hundred sixty-three (363). The resulting number (rounded to the nearest whole number) will be the DAT days available per day. At least one vacation day (either bid or DAT) shall be provided in each bid location per day. 5. DAT bids shall be awarded based on classification seniority. 6. Employees may request a DAT day at any time after the bid closes, but DAT days in excess of the allotted daily amount or DAT days requested with less than 24 hours notice shall be awarded at the discretion of management. 7. Payment for DAT days not taken shall be permitted for one five day block of DAT days per year, provided the Employee gives two (2) weeks written notice prior to the closing of the next pay period. 8. All remaining DAT days not taken shall be paid on the last pay period of the year.
