Requests for Leave A request for annual leave shall be submitted to the employee's immediate supervisor on an approved form designated by the Human Resources Division. Leave may be taken only after approved by the employee's division director so that the department/division can function smoothly and efficiently. Annual leave will be granted, when practicable, in line of department/division seniority and in accordance with employee preference, but it is understood that the efficient operation of the Department shall be the first consideration. Leave may only be used as earned and annual leave with pay shall not be allowed in advance of being earned. If an employee has insufficient leave credits to cover a period of absence, no allowance for leave shall be granted in advance or in anticipation of future leave credits. In such cases, payroll deductions for the time lost shall be made for the period during which the absence occurred. Employees may request annual leave after six months of full time regular employment with the County. In the event that an employee's scheduled annual leave must be canceled due to operational needs of the Department, the employee shall be given at least thirty (30) days notice, except in the case of emergencies. Employees must submit a written request for annual leave dates prior to March 1 of each calendar year on a form that will be distributed to all employees no later than January 2 of each calendar year. Once approved, any changes in an employee's annual leave schedule must be approved by his/her division director. No such change shall be unreasonably denied.
