All requests for usage of vacation time will be recorded in the College’s online system.

Based on business or operational needs, supervisors may establish restricted dates during periods of high volume where vacation time will not be considered.

Vacation time shall be requested to the immediate supervisor a minimum of five (5) scheduled working days in advance of the start date. A supervisor may use their discretion to allow requests that are less than five (5) days or exercise their authority to deny requests for vacation time based on department needs and work with the employee to reschedule a more convenient time.

Vacation may be used in lieu of sick for bereavement for applicable relatives as defined in District Board of Trustees Policy 6Hx-18-5.03, if the employee requests and the supervisor approves.

Vacation may be used in lieu of sick time in cases of approved Family Medical Leave and are recorded as FMLA Vacation.

Vacation requests or requests using a combination of other paid time off and vacation of more than two consecutive workweeks may require approval from the applicable cabinet member.
