In the month of January of each year, starting in 1998, prior to January 31, each employee in order of <br /> Department seniority shall be granted an opportunity to choose vacation time. The January selections <br /> shall be for the period from February 1 to January 31 of the following year. Each employee in turn <br /> (based on Department seniority) will have an initial choice of vacation. Vacation selections can be for <br /> as many shifts/hours as the employee desires, up to his/her total accrued amount at the time of his/her <br /> requested vacation as long as the shifts/hours are taken concurrently. Once the most senior employee <br /> has chosen his/her initial vacation, it becomes the next least senior employee's choice. This process <br /> shall continue until all employees have had their initial selection of vacation. After the initial selections <br /> have been made by all employees, the second choice vacation selections can begin. Second choice <br /> vacation selections will be done in the same manner as the first choice selections. After the second <br /> choice vacation selections are completed, the third choice selections can begin and so on until no one <br /> wishes to choose any more vacation time. <br /> Fire Prevention bureau personnel will utilize a vacation scheduling program consistent with the process <br /> used for suppression personnel. <br /> 13.5 Vacation Pay at Termination <br /> Any employee of the Department shall be paid for all accrued vacation leave earned prior to the effective <br /> date of termination. Such compensation for earned vacation shall be paid to the employee in one lump <br /> sum in a final check. The employee understands that if there is a deficit balance at termination that <br /> deficit amount would be deducted from final compensation. <br /> Section 14.
