Basis of Seniority and Establishment of Seniority Rights. 1. Seniority is defined as including the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor, or successor, and with predecessor contractors, in the performance of similar work.
Basis of Seniority and Establishment of Seniority Rights. (A) Probationary Period All employees shall be considered probationary employees for the first ninety (90) calendar days of active employment, unless they were an employee of a predecessor contractor prior to the Company being awarded a service contract as a successor contractor, in which case they shall be considered as a regular employee and shall not be subject to a probation period. Throughout this period, supervision will evaluate the probationary employee as to such factors as, but not limited to, work habits, willingness to accept varied work assignments and training, safety, productivity, quality of work, attendance, and ability to work with others. Upon completion of his/her probationary period, the employee will become a regular employee whose seniority will be retroactive to his/her first day of employment. Supervisory determinations as to retention, reassignment, or termination of probationary employees anytime during the ninety (90) day probationary period are not subject to the Grievance and Arbitration Articles of this Agreement.
