Promotional Opportunities. The Employer shall have the right to temporarily transfer employees into a non-union promotional position, when deemed necessary, however, such temporary transfers shall not exceed thirty (30) calendar days. The Employer will fill all vacancies with individuals possessing the best qualifications and the greatest potential. If more than one employee applies for a promotion, and it is determined by the Employer that the qualifications and abilities of those applicants are substantially equal, the Employer shall appoint the most senior based on total SECC seniority. This thirty (30) day limitation does not apply when such transfer is made to replace an employee on an extended leave of absence. If the temporarily transferred employee is fully performing the duties of a position with a higher point evaluation than his/her permanent position for more than five (5) working days during a contract year, the employee will be paid at the same rate of pay, starting with the sixth day, that he/she would have been paid if promoted to that position. The employee shall only receive the higher pay when they are assigned to the higher position for 75% or more of a working day. The employee shall be notified in writing as to a transfer effected in conformance with the provisions of this Section. Notification shall include the title and point value of the job to which temporarily transferred, and the effective date of such transfer. Employees promoted into new positions will be considered to be in a trial status for a period of ninety (90) days. During this trial period the Employer will provide periodic feedback to the employee with at least one written memorandum on the employee’s performance at the midway point. During this period the Employer shall have the right to return the employee to the position from which transfer was made if the employee fails to perform satisfactorily, with no loss of seniority rights. Alternately, an employee shall be given the right to return to their former job within the sixty (60) day time period. In the event an employee returns to a former position, all employee movement which resulted will also be reversed. In the event a supervisor is demoted to a dispatcher their seniority shall be based on the date of hire, less the time spent as a supervisor; however, if the supervisor has served in that position for more than two years, the Employee shall lose all seniority as it relates to shift picks, vacation picks and overtime consideration. The employee shall maintain years of service for vacation accruals.
