Scheduling of Time Off. The following guidelines will be followed when applying for and authorizing time off (Article 33, Section 33.4 excepted). Vacation, Holidays, Personal Days, and Compensatory Time are considered time off. Any and all combinations of the above may be used when applying for time off. There is no minimum requirement for emergency time off or scheduled sick leave. Priority for time off shall be determined on a “first request submitted” basis. Employees must submit applications no later than 7:00 a.m., seven (7) days prior to the date requested. If such applications for time off are submitted on the same date, seniority shall prevail. i. e. if September 8 (Monday) is requested off, it must be submitted before 0700 hours on September 1 (Monday). Exceptions to minimum notice may be permitted if no schedule change is needed to accommodate such exceptions, or for exceptional circumstances subject to the approval of the Chief of Police. Authorization of time off is subject to available personnel, police activity, and the recognized City objective of minimizing overtime.
