Those positions into which employees can ‘bump’ (including positions of individuals on Leave of Absence) are those which the employees are qualified to perform given a reasonable familiarization period.

In the latter instanceclassification and/or department, the familiarization period shall be as appropriate for any new hire. Employees should carefully consider the position into which they are ‘bumping’ as only one ‘bump’ is allowed. While a ‘bump’ will normally take place effective the date on which an employee’s current position is deleted, it will be required that employees provide the Centre with advance notice of their intentions so employees affected by the ‘bumping’ process can be advised well in advance.
