Position Seniority. Position seniority shall be established as follows: the regular employee having the longest term of service within a position classification shall be number one on the seniority list for that classification and all other regular employees within that classification likewise shall be listed according to length of service within that classification. A. Position seniority shall not in any way affect the employee's overall department seniority for the purposes of leave accrual and/or other fringe benefits. B. Whenever an individual is promoted or demoted into a position classification that they have previously occupied, the time in which they had previously occupied the position shall be counted towards their position seniority (provided there has been no break in seniority pursuant to Article IX, Section 10). Any time in another position shall not be counted. C. When two or more individuals are hired into a non-sworn classification on the same date, their pre-hire screening scores will be used to determine seniority. The individual with the highest score shall be placed above the individual(s) with the lower score(s). If there is no pre-hire screening score in a particular classification, seniority shall be determined by the Association. Dispatch position seniority shall be determined by the date and time employees finish field training; if there is tie in seniority, seniority shall be determined by the Association. D. When sworn personnel are hired on the same date, academic standing within the academy shall be used to determine the individual with the highest seniority. Scores from the academy shall be carried to the fourth decimal point for the purpose of determining academy score for seniority purposes. When sworn personnel are hired between academies, the sworn personnel so hired shall all be considered to have been hired on the same date for purposes of this section, and shall have a position seniority date of the first day of the Academy they attend. Position seniority for police officers who are unable to finish the Police Academy and later complete the subsequent Police Academy shall be set at the last day of the Initial Police Academy. Ties in seniority among police officers who are unable to finish the Police Academy and later complete the subsequent Police Academy shall be broken by academic standing in the subsequent Police Academy. When sworn personnel are promoted on the same date, scores on the promotional examination shall be used to determine the individual with the highest seniority.
