Involuntary Transfers Sample Clauses
The Involuntary Transfers clause defines what happens if a party’s interest in an agreement is transferred without their voluntary action, such as through bankruptcy, death, or court order. Typically, this clause outlines the procedures that must be followed in such cases, such as requiring the transferee to meet certain qualifications or giving the other party a right of first refusal to purchase the interest. Its core function is to maintain control over who becomes a party to the agreement, thereby protecting the original parties from unwanted or unsuitable new participants.

Involuntary Transfers. (1) When it becomes apparent that a transfer from a building must take place, the principal (or other equivalent supervisor) will talk to all members of the staff in the building who are in the grade levels or subject field from which it is necessary to transfer someone. If one of these teachers states a willingness to be transferred, that person will be chosen for the transfer. Such a transfer will be considered to be an involuntary transfer.
(2) Notice of the necessity for transfers will be given to teachers as soon as practical and, under normal circumstances, not later than the end of the semester preceding the effective date of transfer.
(3) In making involuntary transfers, the convenience and wishes of the individual teacher will be honored to the extent possible, as long as these considerations do not conflict with the best interests of the school system as a whole. If no teacher who is certified for the open position volunteers, the teacher in the building with the least service in the District, who is certified for the open position, has taught in the same grade grouping (K-3 or 4-5) or contiguous grade level (elementary) or in the subject area (secondary) in the last five years, will be transferred.
(4) An involuntary transfer for which no teacher volunteers will be made only after a meeting between the teacher involved and the superintendent or his designee at which time the teacher will be notified of the reasons for the decision on the transfer. In the event that a teacher objects to the transfer at this meeting, upon the request of the teacher, the Association will be notified and the superintendent or designee will meet with the Association's representatives to discuss the transfer. Disputes under Article XVII, B. 2. b. (4), will be subject to the grievance procedure, but the decision of the Board, unless arbitrary, capricious, or without basis in fact, will be final.

Disputes under Article XVII, B. 2. b. (5), will be subject to the grievance procedure, but the decision of the Board, unless arbitrary, capricious, or without basis in fact, will be final. When the transfer has been made, the transferred teacher will be assigned to classes on an equal b...
Involuntary Transfers. In the event of an involuntary transfer as required by the needs of the school system, the following guidelines will be observed:
a. When an employee who is performing satisfactorily is transferred involuntarily, he/she will be included with the employees to be involuntarily transferred, laid off personnel and employees returning from leave and shall be considered for any and all vacancies which may exist within his/her prior classification for which the employee may qualify. Employees may submit a list of worksites in preferential order for which they wish to be considered.
b. Where a transfer has not been requested and the transfer results from a reduction in the number of employees at a work site, the Chief Human Resources Officer, or his/her designated representative, shall discuss the reason for such transfer with the employee involved prior to the implementation of the transfer. The employee may list worksites for which he/she wishes to be considered. When more than one (1) clerical employee in an identical classified position is employed at a given school/office, the employee to be transferred shall be the one with the least seniority, except where the need to maintain balanced staffing is demonstrated. When more than one paraeducator is employed at a given school/office, the employee to be transferred shall be the one with the least seniority, except where the need to maintain balanced staffing or to address special training or talents is demonstrated. Employees involuntarily transferred shall remain on the transfer roster. When an employee is transferred involuntarily after the beginning of the school year, he/she may elect to be included on the excess list for the following school year. Involuntarily transferred office professionals and paraeducators, and office professionals and paraeducators requesting a transfer to another position, shall be considered for appropriate vacancies simultaneously.
Involuntary Transfers. Except as noted in this Article, where it is necessary to select a unit member for transfer where a transfer has not been requested, the Board shall transfer in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Volunteers shall first be sought from that work location from within the present clerical, assistants I and II, student support assistants, security monitors, paraprofessionals, and licensed practical nurse unit member's assignment affected. Any unit member who volunteers to become the involuntary transfer will be given the same consideration in determining reassignment as is given to involuntary transfers.
2. If there are no volunteers, the principal shall first select the employee within the present clerical, assistant I, assistant II, student support assistant, security monitor, paraprofessional, and licensed practical nurse in the affected category for the involuntary transfer.
3. If the unit member designated for involuntary transfer using the above steps is determined by the Board to be essential to the work location that must lose a unit member, the Board may skip said unit member and go to the next least senior unit member, when administratively possible.
4. Unit members designated as involuntary transfers shall be reassigned ahead of unit members requesting voluntary transfers, unit members returning from leaves of absence without pay, or new hires.
5. The employer shall make a list of all available vacancies or new positions by clerical, assistant I and II, student support assistant, security monitor, paraprofessional, and licensed practical nurse assignment and allow the most senior unit member declared as an involuntary transfer to make the first selection - from the appropriate clerical, assistants I and II, student support assistant, security monitor, paraprofessional, and licensed practical nurse assignment list. Assistants who have satisfactory service in the county as both assistant I and II shall be, at the unit member’s option, placed on the involuntary transfer list for assistants I and II based on their seniority in each individual category. The unit member shall have one (1) business day to consider their selection.
6. A unit member who is to be involuntarily transferred shall have the right to meet with the Board representative who had made the decision. In the event that the unit member objects to the transfer at this meeting, upon request, the Superintendent or the Superintendent's designee shall meet with such unit members.

Involuntary Transfers. An involuntary transfer may be made after the Voluntary Transfer provisions in Section 1. above do not result in filling the posted vacancy; or when management determines that it is in the best interest of all Parties involved to involuntarily transfer an employee. Management will conduct a meeting between the employee involved and the principal or department head, and a Union representative if requested by the employee. During this meeting, the employee shall be provided valid reason(s) for the involuntary transfer and such reason(s) shall not be arbitrary or capricious. Such factors as length of service, job competency, and geographic location should be given consideration to the extent that these factors do not, in the opinion of the Superintendent, interfere with the best interest of the District. The employee shall be given a minimum of three (3) workdays notice prior to the involuntary transfer.
Involuntary Transfers. Should an employee be involuntarily transferred or reassigned on a permanent basis, the Assistant Superintendent-Business and Operations shall meet with the employee and the Union to discuss the reasons for the transfer or reassignment and to consider any unreasonable hardships that may be incurred as a result of the transfer or reassignment prior to its implementation. No loss of pay or hours shall result from any such transfer or reassignment.

Every attempt shall be made by the Superintendent, designee, principal or director to have dialogue with the teacher involved before any involuntary transfer is made.
