When a vacancy occurs in a first choice position, which would allow for an additional <br /> employee who had not been offered the opportunity to sign in for that specific day(s) during first <br /> choice sign-up, the day(s) shall be offered to the person next in seniority below the last person <br /> previously signed in for that day(s) who was permanently assigned to that shift at the time of <br /> first choice sign in. <br /> In all cases, the day shall be offered to only those with time remaining to be signed in <br /> for. <br /> Personnel transferred to another shift who have first choice v�cation signed in for, shall <br /> have their request for vacation granted, provided the day immediately proceeds or follows a day <br /> where there is no available opening, if desired. <br /> To ensure time off for a Single Vacation Day, an employee must submit a written request <br /> for time off at least thirty (30) days prior to the time desired. The request must include all the <br /> information required on the form provided and make known to the officer in charge of that <br /> battalion the employee's desire for the requested time off. <br /> "At least thirty days prior to the time desired" means: <br /> 1. thirty full twenty-four hour days <br /> 2. the desired day off is not to be counted as one of thirty prior days <br /> 3. a day off starts at 06:40 A.M., therefore, the thirty days �rior also starts at <br /> 06:40 A.M. <br /> " Making known to the officer in charge of that battalion" means: <br /> Filling out an Earned Time Off form is not enough. If an employee just fills out a request <br /> for time off at the fire station and for some reason the Battalion Chief or designee does not <br /> become aware of the request for time off until after the thirty days prior time limitation has <br /> passed, the employee who had previously requested that day off could not be notified of being <br /> bumped from that day within the established thirty day time frame limitation. <br /> Employees who have properly requested time off have the right to count on their request <br /> being honored, if they have not been notified otherwise before the thirty days prior to the time off <br /> requested. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the person making a re�uest for time off to make <br /> sure that the request is submitted with sufficient allowance for the time in case it is necessary to <br /> notify another person of their having been bumped. <br /> An employee shall be notified before 06:40 A.M. on the thirtieth day prior to the day <br /> which has been requested off if the time off is not granted because of being bumped. <br /> Requests for Single Vacation Days, other than first choice, shiall be honored on a first- <br /> come, first-served basis, by requesting the day no later than 12:00 P.M, on the calendar day <br /> preceding the day in which time off is available. Any deviation from this request is at the <br /> discretion of the Battalion Chief or designee. The Instructions shall govern and seniority shall <br /> prevail. <br /> HOLIDAYS <br /> Holidays signed for after 2008 shall be reduced by one herein, in accordance with <br /> departmental policy, shall be for the period May 1, through April 30.
