during the current fiscal year. A maximum of one (1) holiday will be allowed for this period, <br /> which may be divided into two (2) twelve (12) hour periods. <br /> The twelve hour periods of dividing are from 06:40 A.M. to 18:40 P.M. and 18:40 P.M. to <br /> 06:40 A.M. No other time frames will be allowed. No dividing will be allowed after January 1. <br /> Requests to divide an Authorized Holiday shall be honored, on a first-come, first-served basis, <br /> by requesting the day no later than 18:00 P.M. on the duty day preceding the day in which time <br /> off is available. Requests for a 24-hour day will supersede a 12-hour request, provided all the <br /> established criteria is met. The Instructions shall govern and seniority shall prevail. <br /> These days may be requested at any time, in compliance with these Instructions. <br /> To ensure time off for an Authorized Holiday, an employee must submit a written request <br /> for time off, giving all the information required on the form provided, and make known to the <br /> officer in charge of that battalion the employee's desire for the requested time off, at least thirty <br /> (30) days prior to the time desired. <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 prior 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 day 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 request 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 an Authorized Holiday shall be honored, on a first-come, first-served basis, ' <br /> by requesting the day no later than 12:00 P.M. on the calendar day preceding the day in which ' <br /> time off is available. Any deviation from this request is at the discretion of the Battalion Chief or , <br /> designee. The Instructions shall govern and seniority shall prevail.
