Filling Management Positions Clause Samples

Filling Management Positions. (a) An Employee who fills a management position that is outside the bargaining unit shall retain seniority for a period of twelve (12) continuous months but shall not accumulate seniority while in the management position. If after twelve (12) months the Employee does not return to the bargaining unit, all seniority shall be lost. The twelve (12) month period may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. (b) While in the position outside the bargaining unit, the Employee shall not pay union dues nor shall the Union have a duty to represent the Employee in any matter arising out of his or her position outside the bargaining unit. However, the Union reserves the right to represent the Employee where, upon completion of a temporary appointment to the excluded position, the Employee’s return to the bargaining unit is jeopardized. (c) An employee who fills a position outside the bargaining unit pursuant to (a) and (b) above shall be eligible to apply for a bargaining unit position during the period that the Employee retains seniority.
