Common use of Full-Time Vacancies Clause in Contracts

Full-Time Vacancies. A. Because we serve children, it is recognized that the public holds School Employees to a higher standard of behavior. Therefore the District will not employ anyone convicted of a felony. It will not knowingly employ anyone illegally involved in drug activities of any kind. It may dismiss employees after due process has been followed through the grievance process for such things as those listed above, for knowingly violating school policy and procedures or safety standards, for refusal to use safety equipment, or for failure to comply with local, state and/or federal laws and regulations. In filling full time vacancies in job classifications the Employer accepts the principle that qualified full time employees having the greatest seniority shall be preferred for promotion or transfer to such job classification. B. When it is necessary to fill a full time vacancy in either an established job classification or in a newly created job classification, a notice of the vacancy will be posted on the Union bulletin board at each unit. Such notice shall indicate the job classification in which the vacancy is to be filled, the location if the vacancy is custodial, and the shift assignment anticipated at the time of posting. All full time employees who wish to be considered as applicants for the vacancy shall within three (3) working days after the date of posting, file written applications requesting such consideration. Such applications shall be on Forms prescribed by the Employer and shall show the qualifications of the applicant for the vacancy.
