The following holidays are considered peak vacation, holiday choices by the College Station Fire<br />
Department, and an employee will only be allowed to schedule one (1) of these in the first three<br />

The day before and the day after each of the peak day choices is considered part of the peak<br />
period.<br />
Once an employee has scheduled a vacation or holiday it cannot be canceled. The day may be<br />
changed to sick leave according to established city guidelines.<br />
Vacation and Holiday dates cannot be traded. Vacation or holiday time cannot be scheduled if<br />
the employee has not accrued sufficient hours to cover the time requested.<br />
If you choose not to pick holiday and vacation time during the scheduled time for picks, you<br />
may not be able to take all of your vacation and holidays that year due to staffing needs.<br />
The maximum vacation leave accumulation is three (3) years worth. If you exceed this<br />
accumulation you will lose the time in excess of accumulation maximums.<br />
Military Leave:<br />
According to City Policy personnel are given 120 hours "Military Leave" for the purpose of<br />
military duty.<br />
All city guidelines for the use of military leave will be followed. All requests for leave should be<br />
accompanied by a copy of the order, directive, notice, or other document requiring absence from<br />
scheduled work. To facilitate full utilization of time, vacation and holiday time may be used in<br />
twelve (12) hour increments for the purpose of military leave.<br />
Time off without pay for military leave purposes may also be granted. Extended time off without<br />
pay for military leave may cause an adjustment in city benefits for the employee.<br />
Variance to this policy will be with permission of the Fire Chief.<br />
