PLACEMENT ORIENTATION. 266. When placement is made in a regular job opening under the provisions of this Article, a normal orientation, as defined in Section A. of Article 27, Transfers, will be available. When a position held by a probationary employee is involved, the orientation shall not include training or teaching the affected employee the basic or special skills needed for the position. An employee will work no less than thirty-two (32) hours in a week in order to facilitate orientation and/or retraining in a reasonable time frame. When the manager and employee agree to an extended orientation, the employee will agree that recall rights will commence six (6) months following completion of the orientation plus one additional month for each extended week of orientation (beyond the average for that unit). This is not intended to extend the recall rights past 18 months from Reduction-in-Force notification.
