Reserve Vacation Slide Options (Section 12.G.3.) 

1. Reserves who are awarded a vacation that does not include any days of availability will be permitted to move their vacation a sufficient number of days forward or backward in order to encompass the nearest two (2) available Reserve days. If this creates a short block, it must be adjusted in accordance with Section 12.C.3. of the Contract. Requests to apply this option must be received by 0800 HDT on the 19th calendar day of the month prior to the start of the Vacation period. 

2. Additionally, a Reserve may move a vacation up to two (2) days in either direction, provided no new legality or short blocks are created. When this Vacation slide option is applied, any Reserve days of availability dropped prior to the slide will remain dropped and shall not be reinstated. Requests to apply this option must be received by 0800 HDT on the 19th calendar day of the month prior to the start of the Vacation period. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: RESERVES MAY ALSO MOVE A VACATION UP TO TWO (2) DAYS IN EITHER DIRECTION IN ORDER TO RESOLVE A “SHORT BLOCK,” AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.C.3. OF THE CONTRACT. PLEASE SEE THE “RESERVE VACATION ADJUSTMENTS” SECTION OF THIS GUIDE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
