(a) Judges. Vacations of judges of all appellate courts shall be scheduled by the Chief Justice. Vacations of judges of all trial courts, except the Tax Court and the municipal courts, shall be scheduled by the Assignment Judge, subject to the approval of the Chief Justice. Judges of the municipal courts shall schedule their own vacations, subject to the approval of the presiding judge of such court and the Administrative Director of the Courts, but shall make provision where necessary for other judges to sit in their stead. The presiding judge of the Tax Court shall schedule vacations of the judges thereof, subject to the approval of the Chief Justice.
(b) Supporting Personnel. Vacations of persons in the judicial branch of government shall be scheduled insofar as practicable during times when the courts are in recess or at such other times as shall least inconvenience the work of the courts. The amount of vacation time allowed shall be commensurate with that allowed other public employees holding comparable positions. The vacations of all persons assigned to or employed by a judge shall be subject to the approval of such judge and the Assignment Judge.
