Schedule Requests. Management and staff of each unit will establish equitable, specific guidelines for making and granting schedule requests to work or not to work. Such guidelines will be voted on and approved by a simple majority of the bargaining unit members on that unit. Schedule requests must be submitted at least two (2) weeks in advance of posting. When an employee requests time off that reduces hours worked in a pay period less than the FTE of record, ET shall be used. When conflicts arise in the application of unit guidelines and no resolution can be reached regarding scheduling, bargaining unit seniority shall prevail. When a request for time off is of an emergent nature, ET shall be used if available. Otherwise, the employee will take leave without pay. Such requests will not be unreasonably denied.
