INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR YOUR VACATION PLANNER (2016-2017) Your vacation planner is the tool by which you advise the College of the vacation dates you wish to take for the following contractual year. The reference period for 2016-2017 vacation entitlement is:  Support Staff and Professionals - June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017  Managers - July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 The “BALANCE” column indicates the number of hours and days of entitlement for each vacation year indicated.

Put an “X” next to your choices. Your vacation entitlement is indicated on your planner as “Vacation 2016-2017”

Your vacation remaining from the previous year is indicated as “Vacation 2015-2016” Your current sick bank balance Additional vacation days purchased for 2016-2017

E.g. request of vacation for the period June 13 to 17, 2016

REMINDERS (FOR EMPLOYEES)



Please make sure to select days for your full 2016-2017 allotment.



In general, your vacation selection should be taken in periods of a minimum of five consecutive work days.



The College’s practice is to allow flexibility in the selection of vacation days, however, the services provided by your department cannot be compromised by your choice.

• WHAT DO YOU PUT ON YOUR PLANNER? ▶ Include any days being transferred from your 2015-2016 vacation bank; Note that a maximum of 5 days may be carried forward. Any other remaining days must be taken prior to June 1, 2016. ▶ Include additional vacation days purchased; ▶ Include any sick days converted to vacation days; Note that we included your refundable sick bank balance on your vacation planner. ▶ Include any unused statutory holidays converted to vacation days. • Please remember that when you take a vacation day, you will be required to complete a certificate of absence to be approved by your supervisor. It is recommended this be done within two weeks following your vacation.
