Employees with Same Seniority Date. If two (2) or more employees have the same seniority date (system or classification) and it becomes necessary to resolve this tie, seniority priority shall be determined, first, by length of service beginning with the date of the first day of work as a contracted employee. Then if there is still a tie, the first date of substitute work in the District shall prevail. If still tied, the date of application for the position shall prevail. If still tied, the names of the employees will be drawn by the Superintendent or his/her designee, with the BCEA President in attendance as a witness. Relative seniority will be determined by the order drawn, with the first drawn being most senior.
