After round three (3), vacation time may be scheduled in a minimum of three (3) hour<br />

increments with the approval of the Shift Commander.<br />

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 />

(3) rounds. At the conclusion of the third round, the remaining peak vacation, holiday choices<br />

will be available on a first come first serve basis without regard to seniority.<br />

3. Independence Day - July 4th<br />

4. Labor Day - First Monday in September<br />

5. Thanksgiving Day - Fourth Thursday in November<br />

6. Christmas Day - December 25<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 />
