Vacation Leave
Article 8, Section 3 of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
For Metro, South, and Walker only:
If you are a part-time employee, vacation hours used will be prorated as follows:
If you are part-time/partial insurance eligible, your base time/day will be four (4) hours.
If you are part-time/full insurance eligible, your base/time will be six (6) hours.
You may supplement those hours up to a maximum of eight (8) vacation hours per day. If you
work a ten (10) hour fixed night shift, you may supplement those hours up to a maximum of ten
(10) vacation hours per day.
If problems arise using this proration language, the Union and Management agree to meet and
confer in an effort to resolve the problem.
If the problem cannot be resolved, either the Union or Management may cancel this vacation
proration language with thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
If you successfully bid, or voluntarily transfer or demote to a different work area, your supervisor in
the new work area may cancel any previously approved vacation if another employee in your new
work area has approved leave for the same days.
If you are filling a vacancy in a newly established service, your supervisor in that service may
cancel any previously approved vacation and ask you to resubmit your request.
For Moose Lake only:
Article 8 of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
Requests
You may submit a request for vacation up to one (1) year in advance.
For purposes of vacation requests, compensatory and vacation time will be considered the same.
Cancellation
If you fill a vacancy in a SOCS when it is started, your previously approved vacation may be
canceled if necessary. You may resubmit the canceled vacation request in the new SOCS.
When you bid, voluntarily transfer, or voluntarily demote to fill a vacancy in an existing SOCS and
you have an approved vacation, your new supervisor may cancel it if an employee already working
in the SOCS has approved leave for any of the same days. This does not apply to employees who
accept a SOCS vacancy as an MOU option. The need to limit vacation will be prospective and
noted on the job posting.
To cancel a vacation, you must give notice to your supervisor a minimum of four (4) weeks before
the Wednesday before the first day of the posting period in which the vacation occurs. Your entire
approved vacation shall be rescinded if you do not have sufficient accruals to cover the entire
request.
