PTO will be approved and scheduled after consideration is given to the district’s operational and staffing needs. Accordingly, employees are encouraged to request PTO as far in advance as possible, as requests will be typically considered on a first-come, first-served basis. The district reserves the right to disallow PTO requests if the general manager or the general manager’s designee determines, in his/her discretion, that the requested use of PTO would unduly interfere with or disrupt district operations and/or staffing levels.
