AFSCME Contract - MMB Home - Minnesota Management & Budget

This provision does not diminish your right to ask for schedule changes or agree to exchange days,
shifts, or hours of work as provided for in the Master Agreement.
Either the Local Union or Management may change back to the Master Agreement by giving the
other a thirty (30) day calendar notice.
(For Fergus Falls Region only)
Article 8, Section 3 paragraph 3 of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
If you request vacation for one (1) or more days at least five (5) weeks in advance, your request
will be posted in your work unit. It will be posted within seven (7) days for one (1) week to allow
other employees who want the same vacation to request it while your request is posted. Conflicts
involving vacation schedules will be resolved using the Master Agreement. Your supervisor will
respond to your request within one (1) week of the end of the posting. You may not request a
vacation period more than six (6) months in advance. Management may establish deadlines for
vacation requests within the six (6) month period, if the Local Union agrees.
If you are in a scheduling unit where MNA bargaining unit members are also scheduled, you may
request a vacation of fourteen (14) consecutive days up to twelve (12) months in advance. These
requests may only be canceled in total and with at least fourteen (14) days notice before the
schedule is posted for the pay period in which the vacation begins.
Once a work schedule is posted, your hours of work shown on the schedule but extending fourteen
(14) days beyond the posting period will not be changed to accommodate another employee’s
annual leave or alternate holiday request without your agreement.
(For Moose Lake Region only)
You may submit a request for vacation up to one (1) year in advance.

posted request contains days within the six (6) month period.

months in advance and which extends beyond the posted vacation (mentioned in A. above)
unless he/she has more seniority than the person who made the original request.
