JOB VACANCIES (a) Announcements of opportunities for all job vacancies in new jobs, existing jobs, training positions, and apprenticeship positions within the bargaining unit, will be posted on the bulletin board of each lunchroom for a period of ten (10) days prior to the filling of the job vacancy. If a posting is temporary, the expected duration, if known, will be included in the posting. Employees desiring consideration in the filling of the job vacancy shall signify their desire by applying for the job notice during the period in which it is posted. (b) In filling posted vacancies, the skill, knowledge and ability of the applicants for the position shall be the primary consideration. Where two or more regular employees qualify, seniority shall be the determining factor. The skill, knowledge and ability for vacancies posted under this Article shall be those reasonably necessary to perform the job function and shall not be established in an arbitrary or discriminatory fashion. (c) All employees accepted to posted jobs shall be on probation for thirty (30) days worked, except for employees promoted into a technical trade position (e.g. Machinist or Millwright) who shall be on probation for ninety (90) days worked. During this period, the employee may, at his option, return to his former job, or, if in the Employer’s opinion the employee is not progressing satisfactorily, may be returned to his former job. Posting probation may be extended for days missed, in keeping with the procedures outlined in Article 18.02. (d) A notice shall be posted on the bulletin boards listing the name of the successful applicants, within the time limits of the job posting procedures. (i) Employees who post into a temporary position will be automatically returned to their former position once the posting is complete. (e) Every internal job applicant who meets the minimum qualifications will be given an interview unless he/she has been interviewed for a similar position within the last three (3) months. Every internal job applicant who is not given an interview will have the reasons explained to him/her. (f) In the event an employee transfers to a higher rated position, or is temporarily moved by the Employer, he or she will be entitled to the rate for that job. The transfer will occur in accordance with Article 18.10(b) of the Collective Agreement. (g) When a temporary vacancy exists for a position in a higher classification, the Employer will attempt to fill that position with a regular employee through a posting process if no cross-trained employee is available.
Vacancies Whenever a vacancy in the Board of Trustees shall occur, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy by appointing an individual having the qualifications described in this Article by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees then in office or may leave such vacancy unfilled or may reduce the number of Trustees; provided the aggregate number of Trustees after such reduction shall not be less than the minimum number required by Section 2.1 hereof; provided, further, that if the Shareholders of any class or series of Shares are entitled separately to elect one or more Trustees, a majority of the remaining Trustees or the sole remaining Trustee elected by that class or series may fill any vacancy among the number of Trustees elected by that class or series. Any vacancy created by an increase in Trustees may be filled by the appointment of an individual having the qualifications described in this Article made by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees then in office. No vacancy shall operate to annul this Declaration or to revoke any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled as provided herein, the Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration.
Filling Vacancies In the filling of vacancies, new positions, transfers or promotions, appointments shall be made to the employee with the required qualifications, and level of competency and efficiency as required by the position specifications, and where such requirements are equal, seniority shall be the determining factor.
Number of Directors Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of directors constituting the Board shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
Permanent Vacancies When a permanent job or vacancy occurs in a position previously held by a bargaining unit member, or a newly created position within the bargaining unit, notice of the job or vacancy shall be posted on the bulletin board in each building in which bargaining unit personnel work for ten (10) working days, and a copy mailed to the local Association ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. For purposes of this section, the addition of more regularly scheduled hours to an existing part-time position will be considered to be a vacancy if the additional hours cause the part-time position to become a full-time position. A copy of the vacancy notice shall also be sent to each bargaining unit member who is laid off. A permanent job or vacancy does not include vacancies caused by leaves of absence. The Employer, in its sole discretion, shall determine if a vacancy exists which is to be filled under this Section. Employees interested in the job posting may file a written application with the Employer by the deadline established in the posting. The Employer shall give due consideration to all applicants for the permanent vacancy, including applicants from outside the bargaining unit. In considering an applicant's qualifications to perform the required work, the Employer shall consider the employee's ability, experience, training, productivity, seniority, work performance, work record and dependability. The applicant considered by the Employer in its sole discretion to be the best qualified shall be awarded the permanent vacancy; provided, however, that if the Employer determines that the qualifications of the applicants who meet the qualifications for the job or vacancy are equal, the applicant with the greatest seniority shall be awarded the position. The Employer reserves the right to determine that none of the applicants are qualified and leave the position open or to seek further applicants.
