Promotional Hires. All employees with the same hire date will have their seniority determined by their total Agency security service. (Agency non-security time will not count toward seniority for the purpose of bidding shift and days off.) If two (2) or more employees have the same Agency security date, their seniority will be determined by lottery with a labor representative present.
Promotional Hires. When newly promoted employees have the same promotional hire date, their seniority shall first be determined by total bargaining unit seniority. If the affected employees have the same promotional hire date and same total bargaining unit seniority, the employee who will have higher seniority will be established by lottery drawing (i.e., draw a number from a hat with a local Union officer present).
Promotional Hires. Employees who are promoted to other positions represented within the Guild will serve a probationary period of one (1) year from the date of promotion. During that one (1) year period, if a promoted employee fails to successfully complete the probationary period, s/he will be returned to her/his former position. During the term of the probationary period, employees will be entitled to all rights and privileges of this Agreement, including access to the grievance procedure, except with respect to demotion. Probationary periods will be extended by the full amount of any unpaid leaves of absence of fifteen (15) calendar days or more except as otherwise required by law or this Agreement.
