Common use of Project Employees Clause in Contracts

Project Employees. Procedures for employing Project employees shall be developed mutually by M-DCPS and DCSAA which shall include but not be limited to the terms of the individual contract for these employees. When the School Board hires project employees, the School Board will advise the employee and the Union at the time of employment, specifically which projects the employee will be assigned and the duration of the employee’s assignment. When the employee has completed the assigned projects, the employee’s employment status with the School Board shall be terminated. Nothing, however, prevents the School Board from assigning additional projects to the employee as long as the employee is terminated at the conclusion of the projected date of completion of the original project(s). When a project(s) continues into the next fiscal year, the continued employment of the project employee is subject to the management decision to reappoint such employee. Continued employment from one fiscal year to the next is not automatic. A management decision not to reappoint shall not be grievable or arbitrable. These employees will be entitled to all rights and benefits provided for full-time probationary/permanent employees in this Agreement, except: 1. that the termination due to expiration of the employment project shall not be subject to appeal; 2. entry compensation shall be set no higher than 12% of the minimum salary; 3. the maximum number of years a project employee can be continued in this employment status shall be three years. Employment beyond three consecutive years shall be considered permanent, pending School Board action. Employees who are employed following a Project shall be considered a new employee and retain no previous seniority rights; 4. in the event of any bargaining unit layoff involving job classifications which may include Project employees, Project employees shall be terminated before any permanent unit employees are laid off; 5. personnel terminated due to project expiration will not retain any rights of rehire and may be rehired as permanent employees, without regard to length of employment or order of termination; and 6. the total number of Project employees, at any given time, shall not exceed a maximum of 30.
