JOB BIDDING. SECTION 1 The Human Resources Department shall post new or vacant positions. Such posting shall be county-wide for five (5) calendar days before the position is awarded. If no qualified Employee from the County bids the position, then the position shall be posted by the Human Resources Department for seven (7) calendar days for bid by outside applicants. However, if a qualified candidate pool is not obtained within the seven (7) calendar day time frame, the Human Resources Department may post the notification for additional calendar days in order to obtain further applications. Qualifications, fitness and ability being substantially equal, the positions will be awarded pursuant to the seniority provisions of Article 11. However, such award shall be subject to a forty-five (45) calendar day probationary trial period in which the employee must demonstrate they possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the duties of the job. If the employee was promoted and fails to perform the duties of the new position during the probationary trial period they shall be returned to a position comparable to that held immediately prior to the promotion at the current salary of such promotion. If the employee transferred to a new position and fails to perform the duties of the new position during the probationary trial period the employee can request to return to their original position or apply for other current position openings. However, if their original position is not open and there are no other open positions, the employee will be terminated.
