REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MARCH 22, 1982.
REPORT NO. WD-21-82.
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT - VACATIONS 1982.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 . That this report be received, and;
2. That, with the exception of one (1 ) Staff
member in each Division location, and the
personnel employed in Garbage Collection
services, the Public Works Department close
down for a two (2) week period, from July
26th to August 6th, 1982, inclusive.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
In 1981 , in an effort to minimize the disruption in normal
works and services, the Public Works Department closed down
for a two-week eriod; this was
p primarily due to the fact that
there are numerous employees of long standing who have three
or more weeks entitlement to vacations, and served the purpose
of enabling management to better schedule construction and j
maintenance work during the balance of the holiday season.
Those employees normally providing garbage collection services
were not included in the two-week shutdown, and their holidays
were able to be scheduled on a rotation basis throughout the
summer months.
u
WD-21-82. - 2 -
The method used during 1981 was found to be efficient, and
was satisfactory from the standpoint that it greatly reduced
the periods of time when the Department was under-staffed
due to vacationing employees. In respect of those employees
entitled to more than two weeks ' vacation, the balance re-
maining was scheduled at off-peak periods, thereby lessening
the impact on services.

Respectfully submitted,

Deputy Director of Public Works.
