Method of Bumping. a) Upon receipt of notice of the employee’s intention to bump, the Employer will, within three (3) working days, present the employee with an offer of a position to bump into. b) Bumping offers shall be made by the Employer first within the employee’s own classification and status, subject to seniority provided the employee possesses the required KSA’s for the position offered and the needs of the Society. Bumping is dependent upon operational requirements and consideration of specific skills. Where bumping is not possible within that classification the Employer shall make a determination of qualification for other classifications. c) In instances where a temporary position exists that represents a better bump option than the permanent options available, an employee may elect to bump into a temporary position. In these instances, when the temporary position ultimately terminates, the Employee shall be placed on the re-employment list in accordance with Article 13.6. d) An employee will have three (3) working days to consider the offer of a position. The three (3) day period shall be deemed to have commenced at 5:00 p.m. of the day the offer is formally made, or at the end of the employee’s work period on the day the offer is made, whichever is later. If the employee does not accept the offer of the position within the three (3) day period, it will be deemed the employee has declined the offer. Once the employee accepts the position, the Employer will advise the employee of the commencement date in the new position and the lay-off notice will be deemed to have been rescinded. e) If an employee does not accept an offer of a position in the bumping order, the employee will be deemed to have declined the option to bump.
