EXHIBIT 28 Collective Bargaining Agreements With Unions ...

The above, where applicable, relates to the Departments of Education, Health, Military and
Veterans’ Affairs and Labor and Industry.
Scheduling Leave
Because of the nature of the operational requirements which effect the scheduling of paid
time off for employees of this bargaining unit, the parties agree that it is necessary to clearly define
the priorities by which such leave shall be scheduled.
It is therefore agreed that within the scheduling unit, the first priority shall be given to
vacation requests submitted during the annual selection period in accordance with Article 13,
Section 3.
When an employee submits a request for leave during the selection period and the
Employer becomes aware prior to the end of the selection period that the leave request cannot be
approved, the employee, at that time, will be notified of the disapproval so another selection may
be made.
It is further agreed that after the "master" vacation schedule is approved and posted, should
there be days remaining on which operational requirements would permit the granting of additional
time off, or should other days become available as a result of vacation cancellations, the following
scheduling method will be employed:
a) Requests for personal, holiday, compensatory leave and/or annual leave not
scheduled during the selection period will be acted upon by Management as
received (with equal priority) and scheduled on a "first-come, first-served" basis
except as provided in Article 11, Section 5 of the Master Agreement. In the event
that more requests are received on the same day than can be approved, the
employee with the greatest Master Agreement seniority shall be given a choice of
leave.
b) Requests for emergency paid leave will be entertained at any time with the
understanding that the employee may be required to substantiate the emergency
nature of the request and that further, it may be necessary to reschedule requests of
other employees to accommodate the emergency.
This section shall not supersede or replace local resolutions existing or developed provided
such resolutions are compatible with the provisions of the Master Agreement.
Upon request of the Union, the local institution personnel officer and/or designee shall
meet and discuss with the Union Local President and/or designee on an as needed basis to review
issues/problems encountered by employees in the scheduling of annual/personal leave. Unresolved
issues/problems are appropriate for agency-level discussions conducted pursuant to Article 35,
Section 8.
