Common use of Basis for Selection Clause in Contracts

Basis for Selection. Apprenticeship positions will be filled on the basis of the skill, ability and qualifications of the applicants. Where these factors are relatively equal, the Employer will select the most senior applicant. Vacancies in all other positions shall be filled through appointment on the basis of greatest seniority, required qualifications and efficiency demonstrated in the applicant’s current or previous position(s) with the Employer. Efficiency demonstrated shall be as documented in the employee’s file. An employee shall be deemed as demonstrating satisfactory performance if there is no documentation to indicate otherwise. If there is not a qualified internal applicant, the Employer will consider, on the same basis as outlined above, the applications of employees who are close to possessing the required qualifications before considering any external candidate. If an appointment is made of an applicant who does not possess the required qualification(s) of the position, the Employer may, as a condition of appointment, require that the applicant obtain the qualification(s) within a specific time limit.
