Common use of Involuntary Reassignment Procedure Clause in Contracts

Involuntary Reassignment Procedure. Except in the case of layoffs where Section 22.5 – Reassignment Due to Layoff or Displacement governs, department management, at its sole discretion, may determine from time to time that involuntary reassignments of staff are required. Involuntary reassignments are the reassignments of permanent employees in their existing classification to a new worksite, shift, or program area. Such decisions may result from inability to fill a vacancy through the voluntary reassignment procedure or from a determination that excess staff are allocated to a certain site, shift, or program. When such decisions are made and the reassignments are permanent, the below listed procedure shall apply. This policy shall not apply to temporary reassignments of less than eight (8) weeks duration to cover such things as vacation relief, sick leave absences, temporary shifts in workload, training assignments, or temporary short term assignments to cover vacant positions which could not be filled through the voluntary reassignment policy and for which actions are underway to fill permanent from an eligible list. If a temporary reassignment is expected to exceed eight (8) weeks in duration, the affected Department shall either use the below listed procedure or will meet and confer with the Union on a case by case basis regarding an alternative approach: A. Management will identify the classifications and positions from which reassignments are necessary. B. Affected employees will be provided with a list of vacancies/ assignments for which they may apply. C. Affected employees shall be given the opportunity to volunteer for the available vacancies/assignments and shall be considered in accordance with Part f. of the voluntary reassignment procedure. D. If there are insufficient volunteers for the number of available positions or no volunteers, and involuntary reassignments are still required, the least senior qualified affected employee shall be reassigned to the vacant assignment identified by management, followed by the next least senior employee, and so on in inverse order of seniority until all necessary reassignments are completed. Qualified is defined as a person possessing the necessary training or experience for the specific assignment. Seniority for involuntary reassignment purposes shall be defined as seniority within classification. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Department and the Union from making a mutually agreed upon alternative arrangement. In no event shall reassignments be utilized for disciplinary purposes.
