PARAGRAPH 201 - 210
(201) When a person is transferred into a bargaining unit covered by this Agreement the amount of vacation entitlement the employee may become eligible for shall be reduced by the amount of any paid vacation or pay in lieu of taking vacation which the employee has already received from the Corporation for the same eligibility year.
Vacation Time Off Procedure
(202) Management recognizes the desirability of providing vacation time off with pay, up to the vacation entitlement to which the employee’s seniority will entitle them on December 31 of the current year, in a manner that preserves the maintenance of efficient operations while giving consideration to the desires of the employee.
(202a) During each year of this Agreement, the Corporation has designated the following days to be included in an Independence Week Shutdown period:
Vacation Time Off Procedure
(202b) During February of each year, the local Management will notify the Shop Committee of its decision to schedule the week before or the week after the Independence Week Shutdown period as a Plant Vacation Shutdown Week.
(202c) In addition, during February of each year, the local Management will notify the Shop Committee which productive operations, if any, will be scheduled to operate during the Independence Week Shutdown Period and which productive operations, if any, will be scheduled to operate during the Plant Vacation Shutdown Week. Unforeseen circumstances may require subsequent changes in these announced schedules and will be reviewed with the Shop Committee as soon as is practicable.
(202d) Employees who are not scheduled to work during any portion of the Independence Week Shutdown Period shall be paid up to eight (8) hours of pay for each of the Independence Week Shutdown Period days they are not scheduled to work, up to a maximum of thirty-two (32) hours, which will be calculated on the basis of the employee’s regular rate of pay, plus attached night shift premium, not including overtime, as of the employee’s last day worked prior to the Independence Week Shutdown period provided:
(1) The employee has seniority in any General Motors plant as of the date of each of the Independence Week Shutdown Days,
(2) The employee is on the active rolls and would otherwise have been scheduled to work if it had not been observed as an Independence Week Shutdown Day,
(3) The employee works their last scheduled work day in the pay period prior to and their next scheduled work day in the pay period after the pay periods of Independence Week Shutdown and Plant Vacation Shutdown Week.
Employees shall receive such pay in the pay period following the Independence Week Shutdown Period.
(202e) Failure to work either their last scheduled work day in the pay period prior to or their next scheduled work day in the pay period after the pay periods of the Independence Shutdown and Plant Vacation Shutdown Week will disqualify the employee for Independence Week Shutdown pay for the two (2) Independence Week Shutdown days which follow or precede such scheduled work day.
(202f) Employees who are scheduled to work during the Independence Week Shutdown Period, including the Independence Day holiday shall be entitled to up to eight (8) hours of Additional Time Off with pay up to a maximum of forty (40) hours in lieu of the Independence Week Shutdown Period pay for each day worked provided:
(1) The employee has seniority in any General Motors plant as of each day of the Independence Week Shutdown Period,
(2) The employee is scheduled to report for work during any of the days, and
(3) The employee reports for and performs such scheduled work on those scheduled days or is absent pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs (218) or (218b).
The Additional Time Off will be scheduled in accordance with local plant practice.
(202g) Eligible employees who, as of the next eligibility date, have not used their entire Additional Time Off, shall be paid the unused portion in accordance with Paragraphs (193a) and (193b).
(202h) Management at each plant will establish a procedure whereby employees, during February, may make application in writing for vacation time off, indicating first, second and third choices. If a Plant Vacation Shutdown is scheduled, the dates of such shutdown are to be included in the employee’s vacation schedule. In the event more employees apply for time off than can be spared from the job at a given time, plant seniority will be the basis for resolving priority of applications for time off, except that applicants working on jobs which usually operate when the plant is shut down during such periods as model change, plant rearrangement, plant vacation shutdown or inventory will be given first consideration for time off during periods other than shutdown period.
(202i) Each employee will be given a written disposition of their vacation time off request. Approved vacation time off, exclusive of the time identified as a Plant Vacation Shutdown, will not thereafter be canceled or changed without the mutual consent of Management and the employee. If an employee’s approved vacation time off scheduled for a Plant Vacation Shutdown is canceled or changed, the employee may reschedule their vacation in accordance with local plant practice.
(202j) An active seniority employee who is not scheduled to work during the Plant Vacation Shutdown week, shall use any available Vacation Entitlement hours starting with the first day of the Plant Vacation Shutdown week and will be placed on a leave of absence for vacation purposes for the balance of the Plant Vacation Shutdown week. An active employee without seniority who is not scheduled to work shall be considered on layoff for the entire shutdown period.
(202k) An eligible employee who has approved vacation time off in accordance with Paragraph (202h), either through individual vacation scheduling or a scheduled plant vacation shutdown, shall receive their vacation pay, up to the amount of their approved time off, in the pay period following the pay period in which the approved vacation time off is taken. An employee may elect to waive this provision by submitting an application at least two (2) days prior to the approved vacation time off. Upon receipt of the application, payment of the specified Vacation Entitlement will be made pursuant to the provisions for payment of an unused balance in Paragraphs (193a) and (193b).
(202l) Regardless of the provisions of Paragraph (49), the Corporation will deduct from earnings subsequently due and payable the amount of any vacation payment made to an employee who does not have seniority as of their next eligibility date, or who receives state or federal benefits as a result of unemployment during the Vacation Entitlement Period, or who receives any payment in excess of their eligibility. Recovery of such overpayments may be made from any future payments payable under any term of this agreement or any Supplemental Agreement thereto.
