Disqualification of Former Employees The Consultant represents that it is familiar with Chapter 12.10 of the City’s Municipal Code, which generally prohibits a former City officer and a former designated employee from providing services to the City connected with his/her former duties or official responsibilities. The Consultant shall not use either directly or indirectly any officer, employee or agent to perform any services if doing so would violate Chapter 12.10. The Consultant’s violation of this Subsection 21.2 is a material breach.
PROMOTIONS AND VACANCIES 3.1 The Employer will determine when a position will be filled, the type of appointment to be used when filling the position, and the skills and abilities necessary to perform the duties of the specific position within a job classification that is being filled. Only those candidates who have the position-specific skills and abilities required to perform the duties of the vacant position will be referred for further consideration by the employing agency.
3.2 An agency’s internal layoff list will consist of employees who have elected to place their name on the layoff list through Article 35, Layoff and Recall, of this Agreement and are confined to each individual agency.
3.3 The statewide layoff list will consist of employees who have elected to place their name on the statewide layoff list in accordance with WAC 000-00-000.
3.4 A promotional candidate is defined as an employee who has completed the probationary period within a permanent appointment and has attained permanent status within the agency.
3.5 A transfer candidate is defined as an employee in permanent status in the same classification as the vacancy within the agency.
3.6 A voluntary demotion candidate is defined as an employee in permanent status moving to a class in a lower salary range maximum within the agency.
3.7 When filling a vacant position with a permanent appointment, candidates will be certified for further consideration in the following manner:
A. The most senior candidate on the agency’s internal layoff list with the required skills and abilities who has indicated an appropriate geographic availability will be appointed to the position.
B. If there are no names on the internal layoff list, the agency will certify up to twenty (20) candidates for further consideration. Up to seventy-five percent (75%) of those candidates will be statewide layoff, agency promotional, internal transfers, and agency voluntary demotions. All candidates certified must have the position-specific skills and abilities to perform the duties of the position to be filled. If there is a tie for the last position on the certification for either promotional or other candidates, the agency may consider up to ten (10) additional tied candidates. The agency may supplement the certification with additional tied candidates and replace other candidates who waive consideration with like candidates from the original pool.
C. Employees in the General Government Transition Pool Program who have the skills and abilities to perform the duties of the vacant position may be considered along with all other candidates who have the skills and abilities to perform the duties of the position.
D. If the certified candidate pool does not contain at least three (3) affirmative action candidates, the agency may add up to three (3) affirmative action candidates to the names certified for the position. When recruiting for multiple positions, the agency may add an additional five (5) agency candidates and five (5) other candidates to the certified list for each additional position.
No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Posting and Filling of Vacancies 8.1(1) When a permanent vacancy occurs within a classification covered by this agreement, which the Employer intends to fill, after the Employer applies the internal job transfer bidding procedure and the ultimate vacancy is thereby identified, such vacancy shall be advertised for ten (10) calendar days provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Employer from advertising such vacancy throughout its system or outside during the ten (10) day period. Probationary employees may, at the sole discretion of the Employer, be considered for another position outside their classification after the signing date of this agreement. The Company reserves the sole and absolute right to carry out any applicable interviewing or testing that is necessary in its opinion. All test processes will be approved by qualified Human Resources staff. An employee will only be allowed to take one test failure for each different job classification bid every four (4) months. Current employees applying for positions which involve increased driving responsibilities must meet corporate driving standards and provide with application a current driving abstract. The opinion of the Employer shall not be exercised in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner.
8.1(2) Internal Job Transfer Bidding Procedure
8.1(3) This internal job transfer bidding procedure is within a given classification as follows:
8.1(4) All employees within each classification, when requested, must submit a “standing application” to transfer to any existing alternate home base or location, shift, shift hours, days off (in order of preference), to transfer from part-time to full-time status, or to indicate that they wish no change, whichever is applicable to each individual within their current classification.
8.1(5) A copy of such standing application submitted will be furnished to the employee. Since a standing application will remain valid indefinitely until it results in action or is replaced by the employee, it is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that a standing application always reflects the employee’s current preferences.
8.1(6) (i) When a permanent classification position vacancy is to be filled, all standing applications will immediately be reviewed with the intention of awarding transfers (including any “resultant” transfers) in order of classification seniority in the following sequence, where applicable:
(a) transfer of a full-time employee from one home base or location to another or as referred to above;
(b) transfer of an employee from part-time to full- time status;
(c) transfer of part-time employees from one home base or location to another or as referred to above; and
(d) transfer of full-time employees to part-time.
Leave Without Pay for Relocation of Spouse (a) At the request of an employee, leave without pay for a period of up to one (1) year shall be granted to an employee whose spouse is permanently relocated, and up to five (5) years to an employee whose spouse is temporarily relocated.
(b) Leave without pay granted under this clause shall be deducted from the calculation of “continuous employment” for the purpose of calculating severance pay and vacation leave for the employee involved except where the period of such leave is less than three (3) months.
(c) Time spent on such leave which is for a period of more than three (3) months shall not be counted for pay increment purposes.
Posting of Vacancies Vacancies occurring during the school year may be temporarily filled to avoid undue disruption of the educational program. The procedures in this section will be followed for filling vacancies for a subsequent school year. A notice setting forth information that accurately describes the vacancy shall be posted electronically. Except in cases of emergency, the vacancy will not be filled until seven (7) calendar days have elapsed since delivery and posting of the notice as set forth above has occurred. Where specific training, experience, and other qualifications are a prerequisite for anyone to fill the vacancy, such requirement shall be set forth in the notice. Reassignments within a school building may occur prior to posting a vacancy. The Association president or designee is concurrently given written notice of any such reassignment. Consequently, a retirement, resignation, addition at a grade level or mid-year staffing could result in a notice of vacancy that differs from the original opening within the building. When a bargaining unit member with interest in a particular potential vacancy provides the Superintendent or designee in writing prior to the last bargaining unit member attendance day of the school year with contact information, such as e-mail address, street address and phone number, the Administration shall notify the bargaining unit member of any vacancy occurring during the summer in which the bargaining unit member has expressed an interest. A bargaining unit member so notified shall be responsible to contact the Administration within seven (7) calendar days following a good faith effort to give the bargaining unit member notice, should the bargaining unit member elect to apply for the vacancy. If the District offers a summer school or other extended school year program, notice of all vacancies for the program shall be published in the manner provided for herein and shall not be filled until seven (7) calendar days have elapsed. Compensation shall be in accordance with the Agreement. When Schedule B vacancies occur, the following procedures will be followed:
1. Principals shall email all Schedule B vacancies to all bargaining unit members in their school building and allow bargaining unit members a period of seven (7) calendar days to express written interest in the vacancy. In the event no qualified bargaining unit member expresses written interest during the seven (7) calendar days, a District-wide posting, consistent with the procedure set forth in Section 6.6.2.1 and Section 9.8.10 shall occur for an additional seven (7) calendar days.
2. The Association president or designee shall be copied on all Schedule B vacancy emails within a building. All bargaining unit member’s written interest shall be acknowledged in writing by the appropriate administrator.
3. Principals shall annually reopen Schedule B positions which are currently filled by non- bargaining unit members to all bargaining unit members in their school building for seven (7) calendar days before the end of the school year.
4. Vacancies occurring during the school year may be temporarily filled to avoid undue disruption of the educational program.
5. Preference shall be given to a bargaining unit member over a non-bargaining unit member when both are equally qualified. In order to afford elementary bargaining unit members the opportunity to perform extra tasks such as ticket-taking, such semester or seasonal jobs will first be emailed to bargaining unit members within a building and if not filled, will then be posted on the District website for all bargaining unit members before such work is offered to non-bargaining unit staff or persons not employed by the District.
Liability for directors, officers or employees You acknowledge and agree not to make any claim personally against any employee, director or officer arising out of the work and services provided under these Terms of Business. This clause does not in any way limit or affect our liability to you as set out below.
TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES 8.3.1 School Directors will, through the Superintendent’s Designee, announce and post all intra-school vacancies when they occur or become known. Teachers within that school will have five (5) school days from the date of posting in which to apply for the vacancy. If this vacancy is not filled by an intra-school teacher, then the vacancy will be posted as stated in Section 8.3.3.
8.3.2 Teachers returning from leave may apply for any school vacancies posted for the school to which they were assigned when their leave commenced.
8.3.3 All school vacancies shall be posted on the District’s website for at least five (5) days as these vacancies occur. Teachers will be given the opportunity to apply for these vacancies or openings as they are posted. Applications will be submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee.
8.3.4 Teachers returning from any leave of absence will be notified all available vacancies for the next school year and may apply for these vacancies as they are posted. To ensure positions, these teachers may also be assigned to positions by the Superintendent’s Designee.
8.3.5 Notification of vacancies occurring after the regular school year will be posted on the District website as well as e-mailed to all district staff via the district e-mail system. During the ten calendar days prior to the first teacher workday, the five (5) day posting may be waived. Administrators will make every effort to contact teachers who have previously expressed an interest through a Request of Transfer submitted to the Superintendent’s Designee by March 15 (8.2.1.1).
8.3.6 All qualified in-district applicants for teacher vacancies shall be interviewed by the appropriate administrator and school hiring team when possible. Each interviewed applicant shall be notified in writing of the disposition of his/her application.
8.3.7 The Association and Board of Education agree that collaboration in the teacher hiring process is desirable and that every opportunity should be given to district teachers to provide their input on hiring teams. We collectively understand that circumstances may lead to the need for hiring decisions to be made by administration without consultation. We understand this should not be a consistent occurrence and all efforts will be made to follow the above philosophy. Finally, we agree that the Superintendent will make final hiring recommendations to the Board of Education.
RESTRICTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT OF FORMER STATE OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE The Engineer shall not hire a former state officer or employee of a state agency who, during the period of state service or employment, participated on behalf of the state agency in this agreement’s procurement or its negotiation until after the second anniversary of the date of the officer’s or employee’s service or employment with the state agency ceased.
