Mr. Kenneth Brynien, President

Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO

 

Dear Mr. Brynien:

 

This will continue and confirm our understanding reached during the course of negotiations of the 1991-95 State/PEF Agreement, on the subject of seven-consecutive day vacations.

The parties agree that it is desirable for employees to be afforded the opportunity to take at least one seven-consecutive day vacation (5 working days and 2 pass days) during each calendar year. Should an employee be denied this opportunity, during the term of this Agreement, the employee may request a review of the matter by the Agency Level Labor/Management Committee, and if not resolved there, to the Executive Level Labor/Management Committee.

It is understood that reviews will be afforded only when the employee is denied an opportunity to take a seven-consecutive day vacation during a calendar year. Reviews will not be applicable to situations where an employee was denied only his/her preferred vacation request(s).

 

For the State:

 

John Currier
Deputy Director for Contract Negotiation and Administration

Governor's Office of Employee Relations

 

For PEF:

  

Kenneth Brynien

President
