The rate of vacation pay will be at the employee's regular straight time rate of pay in effect for the employee's regular job on the payday immediately preceding the employee's vacation period.
Vacations will be bid according to citywide seniority and will be bid at a minimum of one (1) week at a time. The preference for vacations will be made during the month of December. Vacations will be scheduled beginning January 1 of each year.
Vacations will be granted as far as possible, in accordance with employee preference and in line of City-wide seniority, but the number of employees off on vacation in a given week will be determined by the City to assure orderly operation of the respective Divisions and Departments. At the time the officer bids for his/her vacation, the officer may elect to set aside five (5) vacation days and/or odd vacation days to be taken at increments of less than five (5) days. The above listed vacation days can be taken at the discretion of the officer with the prior approval of his/her commanding officer. These days are not priority days to be used in vacation seniority preference, but they must be taken off during the calendar year.
