Employees to Whom Announcement is Directed Sample Clauses

Employees to Whom Announcement is Directed. An announcement is directed to employees in one of the following groups: Group 1a: Employees in the competitive area in which the vacant position is located. (May be used where a competitive area is a part of an operation. Competitive area is the same as for reduction in force.) Group 1b: All employees permanently assigned to the nuclear plant site, fossil and hydro plant, or construction project where the vacant position is located without regard to the TVA organization to which they belong. Group 2: Employees anywhere in the operation in which the vacant position is located. (A group to which operations report is considered to be an operation separate from the operations reporting to it.) Group 3: Employees anywhere in the group of which the operation having the vacant position is a part. (The term "group" here includes the operations reporting to the group.) Group 4: Employees in all groups and operations. An announcement may be made initially to Groups 1, 2, 3, or 4 and may be made again to any higher group or groups until the position is filled. Employees who have received a reduction-in-force notice may apply on any vacant position announcement in Groups 1, 2, 3, or 4. An employee who does not apply in response to an announcement directed to his/her group, or whose application is received after the closing date, is not entitled to consideration in selection for the vacancy, although the employee may be given consideration at TVA's option. TVA need not select an employee who has held his/her current position, in the same family and level as an announced position, for less than 12 months prior to the closing date of the vacancy announcement. However, the above provision requires an employee who has been directed to transfer (as described in S-7:C) to serve only the remainder of the 12-month period not served in the position that employee held immediately prior to the directed transfer.
