Merit Promotion Program. SECTION 1. Merit Promotion to a position vacancy shall be on the basis of qualifications and merit. The PARTIES agree that any wrongful manipulations of position rating criteria and Merit System principles to deny an EMPLOYEE a selection is not in the spirit of true partnership and is therefore not allowed. Any proposed changes in the Merit Promotion Program will be brought before the respective Labor/Management Forums prior to implementation. SECTION 2. The EMPLOYER reserves the right and may elect to fill vacant positions by methods other than Merit Promotion such as reassignment, re-promotion, reinstatement, transfer, or other official appointments as well as through career promotions under an approved training and career development program. When the command decides to fill a bargaining unit position, the UNION will be notified concurrent with sending the Request for Personnel Action (RPA) to the HRSC-SE. Upon completion of the personnel selection process, the UNION will be notified. SECTION 3. The automated staffing program, currently STAIRS/Resumix, is the primary method for applying and filling vacancies. The PARTIES agree that job opportunities will be posted electronically through the Department of the Navy Human Resources Website and that the area of consideration will be as small as practicable to allow adequate competition while giving consideration to internal candidates. SECTION 4. The PARTIES agree that if a specific/special announcement is used, employees will have a minimum of five calendar days open period for receipt of applications. The UNION will be provided a copy of the announcement. When a vacancy is announced under these provisions, it will contain the following information: title, series and grade, and duties of the position; area of consideration, geographical and organizational location of the position, closing date, qualification requirements, and method of applying. SECTION 5. EMPLOYEES who are on approved leave or official travel for at least half of the work days during the open period of a Specific/Special Announcement for a position, may submit a delayed application within three work days after returning to work, providing a selection has not been made. Further, it is agreed and understood that the rating, certification, and selection process shall not be delayed to allow for the receipt of late applications.

  • Leave Donation Program Employees may donate paid leave to a fellow employee who is otherwise eligible to accrue and use sick leave and is employed by the same Agency. The intent of the leave donation program is to allow employees to voluntarily provide assistance to their co-workers who are in critical need of leave due to the serious illness or injury of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family. The definition of immediate family as provided in rule 123:1-47-01 of the Administrative Code shall apply for the leave donation program. A. An employee may receive donated leave, up to the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work each pay period, if the employee who is to receive donated leave: 1. Or a member of the employee's immediate family has a serious illness or injury; 2. Has no accrued leave or has not been approved to receive other state-paid benefits; and 3. Has applied for any paid leave, workers' compensation, or benefits program for which the employee is eligible. Employees who have applied for these programs may use donated leave to satisfy the waiting period for such benefits where applicable, and donated leave may be used following a waiting period, if one exists, in an amount equal to the benefit provided by the program, i.e. fifty six hours (56) pay period may be utilized by an employee who has satisfied the disability waiting period and is pending approval, this is equal to the seventy percent (70%) benefit provided by disability. B. Employees may donate leave if the donating employee: 1. Voluntarily elects to donate leave and does so with the understanding that donated leave will not be returned; 2. Donates a minimum of eight hours; and 3. Retains a combined leave balance of at least eighty hours. Leave shall be donated in the same manner in which it would otherwise be used except that compensatory time is not eligible for donation. C. The leave donation program shall be administered on a pay period by pay period basis. Employees using donated leave shall be considered in active pay status and shall accrue leave and be entitled to any benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled. Leave accrued by an employee while using donated leave shall be used, if necessary, in the following pay period before additional donated leave may be received. Donated leave shall not count toward the probationary period of an employee who receives donated leave during his or her probationary period. Donated leave shall be considered sick leave, but shall never be converted into a cash benefit. D. Employees who wish to donate leave shall certify: 1. The name of the employee for whom the donated leave is intended; 2. The type of leave and number of hours to be donated; 3. That the employee will have a minimum combined leave balance of at least eighty hours; and 4. That the leave is donated voluntarily and the employee understands that the donated leave will not be returned. E. Appointing authorities shall ensure that no employees are forced to donate leave. Appointing authorities shall respect an employee's right to privacy, however appointing authorities may, with the permission of the employee who is in need of leave or a member of the employee's immediate family, inform employees of their co-worker's critical need for leave. Appointing authorities shall not directly solicit leave donations from employees. The donation of leave shall occur on a strictly voluntary basis.
