Section 2

  1. Employee requests for annual leave made pursuant to agency policy or collective bargaining agreement, shall be in writing on a form supplied by the agency. Approval or disapproval of the request shall be made on the same form by a supervisor authorized to do so by the agency.Decisions on requests for annual leave or for leave with pay shall be made within seven (7) working days of submission except for requests which cannot be approved at the local level or requests for leave during the summer peak vacation period or other such periods for which the Employer has established and promulgated a schedule for submission and decision of leave requests. Once a leave request has been approved, the approval may not be rescinded except in writing by the agency head, Executive Director of a Hospital or Chief of Personnel in the Police Department. If any agency head, Executive Director of a Hospital, or Chief of Personnel in the Police Department calls upon an employee to forego the employee's requested annual leave or any part thereof in any year, it must be in writing and that portion shall be carried over until such time as it can be liquidated.
  2. In order to allow employees to make advanced plans, decisions on requests for annual leave in amounts of at least 5 consecutive work days or tours falling during an agency's designated summer peak vacation period shall be made not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled commencement of said peak vacation period. Such requests must be made no later than forty-five (45) days or tours prior to the commencement of the summer peak vacation period or by the designated submission date for such requests, whichever is earlier. The summer peak vacation period shall be the period designated by an Agency as such, provided such period does not commence prior to Memorial Day Weekend or extend past September 30th. Nothing contained herein shall preclude employees from making annual leave requests in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
  3. Where an employee has an entitlement to accrued annual leave and/or compensatory time, and the City's fiscal condition requires employees who are terminated, laid off or who choose to retire in lieu of layoff, be removed from the payroll on or before a specific date because of budgetary considerations, the Employer shall provide the monetary value of accumulated and unused annual leave and/or compensatory time allowances standing to the employee's credit in a lump sum. Such payments shall be in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 30, dated June 24, 1975, and the FLSA.
