Hardship Transfers. For purposes of this Article, a hardship transfer is defined as a medical or safety-threatening situation causing specific loss or suffering to an employee or the employee’s spouse, children, parents, or spouse’s parents. This provision includes stepchildren and stepparents. Employees who have a hardship may request a hardship transfer to a vacant or new position. Requests for hardship will be submitted to the Union. Those supported by the Union 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.
