Common use of Non-Field Position Transfers Clause in Contracts

Non-Field Position Transfers. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Non-Field” position is defined as any sergeant’s position other than those assigned to one of the fifty- nine (59) Patrol Post installations located throughout the state that work in a continuous (round the clock) operation. A District Headquarters position is not considered a “Field” position. When the Employer determines that a vacancy in a non-field position shall be filled by transfer, the position will be posted at all Highway Patrol facilities for a period of seven (7) calendar days. The posting will include the specific qualifications and criteria required of the position. Any sergeant who meets the specific qualifications and criteria may bid for the position. The Employer retains the right to determine and select the most qualified from among the bidders. If all qualifications and criteria are determined to be equal, seniority shall be considered for selection to the position. An employee with an active discipline above a written reprimand issued after September 29, 2016 shall have no rights to grieve non-selection. If the above transfer results in a vacancy in another non-field position, the Employer shall survey the “active transfer file”, to determine if any incumbent is interested in filling the position. If so, the Employer may select from the most qualified of the members with active transfers in file. If all qualifications and criteria are determined to be equal, seniority shall be considered for selection to the position. If this process fails to fill the position, the Employer shall post the vacancy as noted above if the decision is made to fill the position by transfer. If the above transfer(s) results in a vacancy in a field position, the Employer may fill any new field position vacancy created by this initial transfer in accordance with Section 30.01(B)(2) above. The Employer may involuntarily reassign bargaining unit members in non-field positions to a field or other non-field position for just cause. Any transfer initiated by the Employer for this purpose shall not result in the transferred employee having to relocate. The Employer agrees to establish specific qualifications and criteria for the selection of sergeants to non-field positions. Where specialized training is required to meet the criteria for these non-field positions, the opportunity for training, if offered or paid for by the Employer, will be posted at all Highway Patrol facilities for a period of seven (7) calendar days. The specific qualifications and criteria for selection will be included in the posting. Any sergeant who meets the specific qualifications and criteria for the training opportunity shall have a right to bid for the training. Selection of the person to receive the training will be based on seniority from among those bidders who meet the qualification and criteria requirements.
