[color=red][b]Last calendar update: 11/14/18[/b][/color]<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />The attached calendar will be updated with any change requests after the vacation desk has approved them. Any pending date changes waiting for approval will be noted in the &#039;2018 Grand Rapids - Pending Approval&#039; reply section below.<br /><br />If you don&#039;t see any pending approval comments below then the calendar in this post should be current.<br /><br />The Grand Rapids vacation coordinator is:<br /><br />Richard Lent<br />rlent111@gmail.com<br /><br />Please send all date changes and requests via email to the address above. Please include your SAP. Please submit all requests, including cancellations, a minimum of 48 hours in advance excluding weekends and holidays (vacation desk is closed). No notes, texts, or phone messages please. Requests will be honored in the order received.<br /><br />The Grand Rapids crew base is allocated one person off on any particular day. Please check the calendar and the pending approval section for availability before submitting your request.<br /><br />Under the current agreement, you may take up to 10 single vacation days.<br /><br /><br />[b]Personal Days[/b]<br /><br />You may also request your Person Day via email. Personal Days are treated the same as a single vacation day under the agreement. Because Grand Rapids is only allocated one person off at any time, you may not schedule a personal day if someone else is already scheduled for a vacation or personal on that same day. If you choose to take your personal day directly through CMS, no problem, but please send an email to your vacation coordinator so the calendar can be updated. That way everyone will know that day is no longer available.<br /><br />[b]Schedule availability[/b]<br /><br />You can only schedule vacation and personal days based on the job you hold at the time your request is submitted, even if you believe your days off may change at some date in the future. Unless you are scheduling a unit week (7 consecutive calendar days with 5 vacation days used), you may only request days off for days you are currently scheduled to work. So if your job works MON, THU, SAT you can only request vacation or personal days for MON, THU, and SAT dates, not TUE, WED, FRI, or SUN dates.<br /><br />[b]Verify your dates[/b]<br /><br />It is your responsibility to verify on the PTT that the correct vacation/personal dates have been held for you. Go to LMS Menu, Browse Scheduled Vacation and Personal Days. The attached vacation calendar is for SMART TD use only and is NOT the official record.
