Guidelines regarding the use of vacation days for 240/260 day hourly employees.

 

An employee wishing to take earned vacation days must complete the appropriate Vacation Leave form and submit the request to his/her supervisor. This request must be submitted five (5) business days in advance of the anticipated absence. Vacation days will be granted on a first come, first serve basis and will be subject to the following limitations:

 

• A maximum of 6% of a department’s employees, in each job category, would be permitted to take vacation leave at the same time. This percentage will be set by each department and communicated to its employees.
  
• Since each department has times of the year when the workload is intense and requires 100% of the staff to be present, no vacation time would be granted during this time. Each department would identify these days and communicate them to each employee. (Example: the two weeks before and the two weeks after the first day of classes for the school year are non-vacation days for the Maintenance Department.)
  
  Note: Supervisors would have the ability to grant exceptions to these guidelines when needed, based on the circumstances presented by the employee.
