Hardship Transfers. For purposes of this Article, a “hardship” is defined as a military deployment, a medical or safety-threatening situation causing specific loss or suffering to an employee or the employee’s family member as defined in Article 13.2(K)(1). Employees who have a hardship may request a hardship transfer to a vacant or new position. To maintain confidentiality of private and/or medical information, requests for hardship will be submitted to the FWOG Legal Counsel or Teamsters Business Representative. Those supported by the FWOG Legal Counsel or Teamsters Business Representative will be forwarded with a written record of support, including the original employee request and all supporting documentation, to the Appointing Authority/Chief for consideration. The Appointing Authority/Chief’s decision on the request for a hardship transfer will be final and is not subject to the grievance procedure.
