Job Amalgamation. Where a job function(s) is amalgamated with another (others), then the employees in those functions are technically redundant. In order to minimise the impact of those redundancies it is proposed that the redundant employees would be interviewed for placement in the newly created position(s) should they wish to be considered. No other applications for this position would be considered. If none of the redundant employees wished to be considered for the new position then the job would be held open for applications from other surplus employees.

The Company understands that additional training is necessary for employees in the amalgamated jobs and agrees to provide the ongoing training that will allow employees to adequately perform required job duties. The training will be scheduled per the published training calendar, subject to change as necessary. Priority will be given to senior amalgamated employees, where possible, as identified through the Resource Planning processes.
