Employment Outside the Bargaining Unit. When a bargaining unit employee accepts a position with the County outside the bargaining unit and returns to the bargaining unit within six (6) months, the employee shall be reinstated with the seniority earned previously as a bargaining unit employee.
Employment Outside the Bargaining Unit. An employee with established seniority in the Bargaining Unit who accepts employment with the Company outside the Bargaining Unit shall not accumulate seniority during said time. The employee will lose one year of seniority for every year he or she is outside the Bargaining Unit. The employee shall have no right to transfer back to the Bargaining Unit, but in the event the employee is transferred back into the Bargaining Unit by the Company, said employee shall start again accumulating seniority in the Bargaining Unit, which seniority shall be added to whatever amount of seniority is left, if any, at the time of the transfer. An employee returning to their former classification with any seniority will not be able to use this provision again within the next twelve (12) months.
