Upon written request, all job postings will be distributed to the concerned affiliate local union. The Employer shall not fill any vacancy with a substitute employee for longer than fifty (50) work days except that this fifty (50) work days, shall become sixty (60) work days for the months of May, June, July and August; provided however, this sixty (60) work day period shall not in any event extend beyond October 31 of any year.

Where it can be clearly substantiated that either a junior employee who has applied or an employment applicant possesses a greater ability and prior work performance record, the Employer may then fill the position with such person in which case the Employer shall set forth to the person and the union in writing upon written request from a senior eligible applicant, the reasons why that senior person was not placed into the position vacancy. Such factors as poor attendance and poor work performance shall be considered by the Employer in administering this section. This section shall apply to all employees covered by this Agreement unless modified in the attached appendices.
Section 5.3.3.1 When an incumbent employee is promoted or assumes a new position; the employee may be placed on trial for thirty (30) workdays until the employee proves themselves capable of handling the new position.

If such determination is made, the employee shall return to the position held immediately prior to the assumption of the new position except as may be modified in attached appendices. Section 5.3.3.2 Should, in accordance with Section 5.3.3.1, an employee return or be returned to the position they previously held, the employee who is displaced will be placed back into their former position. If the former position was as a substitute, the displaced employee will be placed back as a substitute. Employees subject to such change in placement/assignment will be given at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to the effective date of the change.
Section 5.3.4 When two (2) employees subject to this Agreement are moved as the result of one initial posted vacancy, subsequent vacancies which may occur, shall be filled at the discretion of the Employer; provided, however, all custodial lead positions shall be subject to the position application procedures set forth herein.

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.

(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.
