Common use of Divisional Seniority Clause in Contracts

Divisional Seniority. Each employee will be assigned a "home" division and will have seniority standing in that division equal to the employee's total, continuous, uninterrupted full-time service within that given division dating from the employee's most recent date of employment within the division. However, if an employee has been employed in the division for more than one (1) year, the employee's Divisional Seniority shall equal the employee's total, continuous, full-time service with the City. If an employee is permanently transferred to another division, the employee's accrued Divisional Seniority in the previous division will remain in effect, but will cease to accumulate effective on the date of the transfer. Seniority in the new division will date from the time the employee entered the new division. If the employee is retained in the new division for one (1) year, accrued seniority in the previous division will cease and the employee's seniority in the new division shall be based on the total, continuous, full-time service with the City dating, from the employee's most recent date of employment. An employee affected by Article 18, "Layoff/Recall", shall have Divisional Seniority as described in such Article. Section 5.1 A new employee who is in the Bargaining Unit shall be considered to be on probation until completion of two hundred fifty (250) actual workdays on the job or twelve (12) months, whichever is greater, during which time the City will have the right to dismiss or retain the employee at its sole, non-arbitrable discretion. During the probationary period, the employee shall not accrue any rights except those contained in this Agreement. Upon expiration of the probationary period, the employee shall be deemed a regular employee and his/her seniority shall date back to his/her date of hire in the permanent position.
