Promoted Status. 1. Promoted status means a permanent or temporary assignment (processed on the employee profile) to a management position within their division below the Director level. Example: An RSE transferring to a Ramp Service Supervisor in the Airport Operations division will be considered in promoted status. An RSE transferring to a Reservations Supervisor in the Reservations division will not be considered in promoted status.
2. Employees in promoted status as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who, under the predecessor agreement, were accruing bid seniority and/or furlough recall seniority for 183 days may continue to accrue such seniority for the remainder of said 183 days. Employees in promoted status as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who were accruing bid seniority and/or furlough recall seniority without limitation may continue to accrue such seniority for 183 days from the Effective Date. In either case, after the 183 days, employees in promoted status may retain but will no longer accrue bid seniority and/or furlough recall seniority.
3. To continue accruing bid seniority and furlough recall seniority for 183 days and to retain bid seniority and furlough recall seniority thereafter, employees in promoted status must pay a monthly administrative fee to the Union as set by the Union. Employees in promoted status on the Effective Date of this Agreement will commence payment of the administrative fee within 90 days of that date. Employees who transfer to promoted status after the Effective Date must commence payment of the administrative fee in the month that follows such transfer. Employees in promoted status who elect not to pay the required administrative fee will lose their bid seniority and furlough recall seniority.
4. Employees in permanent promoted status will use their bid seniority to obtain available vacancies when they desire to return to the basic position in their classification. (There must be a vacancy in order for an employee in promoted status to return.) In no event will an employee be furloughed or bumped from his or her Location as a result of a management employee returning to a position covered under this Agreement.
5. Employees in temporary promoted status will not need a vacancy when they desire to return to the previous position from which they were temporarily promoted.
