Article 7, Section 6 of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
Work on a Holiday. (For all Employees)
Your supervisor will make every reasonable effort to schedule the most senior part time employee
who works on a holiday the longest shift available on the holiday.
(For Anoka Dietary only)
Scheduling. If you work in the Anoka Dietary Department on an extended operation schedule,
you will rotate these holidays: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. You are
guaranteed one (1) of these off each year and will rotate through these holidays over a three (3)
year period.
To make this rotation work, Management can change the scheduling pattern for only these holiday
schedules. However, you cannot be scheduled to work more than seven (7) days in a row.
To make this rotation work, you may not ask for vacation leave that includes the two (2) of these
holidays you are scheduled to work.
After the holiday rotation is applied, Article 7, Section 8A of the Master Agreement will apply for
available shifts.
Employees Assigned to a Schedule Containing Twelve (12) Hour Shifts. (For Willmar
Region only)
If such an employee does not work on a designated holiday, pay shall be computed at the
employee’s normal day’s pay (i.e., hourly rate of pay multiplied by the hours in the normal work
day). If an employee works on a holiday, the employee shall be paid in cash at the appropriate
overtime rate for all hours worked in addition to twelve (12) hours of compensatory time in lieu of
holiday pay as described in the previous sentence.
(For All Employees)
Vacation Leave
For purposes of vacation request, compensatory and vacation time will be considered the same.
As business needs dictate, your supervisor may schedule more than one (1) AFSCME staff on
vacation at the same time.
Vacation Requests More than Six Months in Advance:
Article 8 of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
Vacation Requests: (For Brainerd Region only)
You may ask for vacation leave of five (5) or more working days up to one (1) year in advance.
If you initiate a move to a different work location and you have approved vacation leave that occurs
more than six (6) months from the date of the move, that leave is canceled. You may resubmit
your leave request at your new work location.
If you initiate a move to a different work location and you have approved vacation leave that occurs
less than six (6) months from the date of the move, your new supervisor may honor the request if it
does not cause overtime and staffing needs are met.
