Between November 1 and November 30 of each calendar year, employees may submit in writing to their supervisor their preferences for vacation for the following calendar year, provided an employee may not submit more than three (3) preferences. Such request may include vacation through December 31 of the following calendar year. In establishing vacation schedules, the City shall consider both the employee's preference and operating needs. Where the City is unable to grant and schedule vacation preferences for all employees within a position classification within a department, employees within the position classification shall be granted such preferred vacation period on the basis of seniority. An employee who has been granted his/her first preference shall not be granted another preference request if such would require denial of the first preference of a less senior employee.An employee's preference shall be defined as a specific block of time uninterrupted by workdays. Employees who file their preference by November 30 shall be notified of the vacation schedules by December 15 of that calendar year. Employees who choose not to file their preference for the following calendar year by No- vember 30 shall have those non-preference vacation requests returned to them approved or de- nied as soon as possible, but in no event later than two days after the request was submitted to the supervisor, provided that no employee's approved vacation preference is allowed to be bumped by another employee on the basis of seniority. Non-preference vacation requests shall not be processed for the following calendar year until all preference vacations have been offered and scheduled. 19
