Initial Placement Procedure. Employees’ initial salary placement shall normally be according to the terms of Clauses 4.01 through 4.03. The initial placement procedure, including maximum placement on the scale, applies to all Faculty Members new to the College, and to all Faculty Members who have had a break in employment with the College of 36 months or longer. At the request of the Employee, placement on the salary scale may be reviewed at any time. Increases to an Employee’s placement on scale resulting from the review of qualifications shall be retroactive to the time of appointment if the review is initiated within six (6) months of the acceptance of the offer of appointment. Otherwise, increases shall be retroactive to the date on which the Faculty Member requested the review. A request for review of placement received more than six (6) months after the acceptance of the offer of employment must be based on a specific identified area of concern. Changes in placement procedures which were agreed to by the two parties since a Faculty Member's most recent placement shall not be grounds for review unless the changes were agreed to be retroactive. The administration shall include along with the letter of appointment an information packet including an explanation of the calculations leading to the Employee's initial placement on scale referenced to Clauses 4.01 through 4.04. To attract specialized personnel, or to facilitate transfer of continuing Faculty Members from other B.C. colleges, universities and institutes, the administration may, with the agreement of the Union, offer placement on the salary scale above the step which would result from the calculations of an individual’s work and educational background, or above the maximum initial placement.
