Whenever possible, consistent with the needs of the County and requirement for vacation relief, employees shall have the right to determine vacation times. Employees may be allowedto use vacation or floating holiday with short term notice such as attending school functions of a child, with twenty-four (24) hours advance notice and approval of the employee’s supervisor. In the event where twenty-four (24) hours advance notice is not practicable, such as an emergency, employees may be allowed to use vacation or floating holiday with approval of theemployee’s supervisor. Vacation requests can be submitted at a minimum of one hundred twenty (120) days in advance and a maximum of 1 year in advance. In the event of more requests than the County can allow, vacation time shall be approved on the basis of seniority;however, each employee shall be permitted to exercise their right of seniority only once per calendar year.
