Removal of Directors Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Member, and, subject to Section 10, any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled by action of the Member.
Filling of Vacancies The Employer will continue with the current practice regarding job postings. Notices of position vacancies which occur within the bargaining unit which cannot be filled by a qualified surplus employee shall be posted on the District’s website using the on-line application system. 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. This section shall apply to all employees covered by this Agreement unless modified in the attached appendices.
Section 5.3.1 In order to become eligible for consideration of a position vacancy, an employee shall submit a completed position application form to the district Human Resource Office within the designated open period.
Section 5.3.2 Employees interviewed and not selected for a position in the bargaining classifications contained herein shall be notified of their non-selection prior to the selectee’s first day of work in the position for which they had applied.
Section 5.3.3 The employee with the earliest seniority date who is fully qualified to perform the work involved and who has fulfilled the requirements as set forth in Section 5.3.1, shall fill the vacant position when ability and performance are substantially equal to those who sought the vacancy by complying with those same requirements. 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. Before the completion of the thirty (30) day period, either the employee or the administrator may determine that the assignment is not acceptable. 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.
Posting and Filling of Vacancies 8.1(1) When a permanent vacancy occurs within a classification covered by this agreement, which the Employer intends to fill, after the Employer applies the internal job transfer bidding procedure and the ultimate vacancy is thereby identified, such vacancy shall be advertised for ten (10) calendar days provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Employer from advertising such vacancy throughout its system or outside during the ten (10) day period. Probationary employees may, at the sole discretion of the Employer, be considered for another position outside their classification after the signing date of this agreement. The Company reserves the sole and absolute right to carry out any applicable interviewing or testing that is necessary in its opinion. All test processes will be approved by qualified Human Resources staff. An employee will only be allowed to take one test failure for each different job classification bid every four (4) months. Current employees applying for positions which involve increased driving responsibilities must meet corporate driving standards and provide with application a current driving abstract. The opinion of the Employer shall not be exercised in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner.
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. Since a standing application will remain valid indefinitely until it results in action or is replaced by the employee, it is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that a standing application always reflects the employee’s current preferences.
8.1(6) (i) When a permanent classification position vacancy is to be filled, all standing applications will immediately be reviewed with the intention of awarding transfers (including any “resultant” transfers) in order of classification seniority in the following sequence, where applicable:
(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.
Appointment of Directors Immediately upon the Effective Time, Parent shall, in accordance with Section 2.3(d), accept the resignations and cause the appointments of those officers and directors of Parent identified in Exhibit C hereto, subject to any notice and waiting period requirements of federal law. At the first annual meeting of Parent’s stockholders and thereafter, the election of members of Parent’s Board of Directors shall be accomplished in accordance with the by-laws of Parent.
Composition of the Board of Directors (a) Upon the occurrence of a Walgreens Investor Rights Initiation Event, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) took the action necessary to cause one (1) Walgreens Designee to be appointed to the Board.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Walgreens Investor Rights Step-Up Event, the Board shall promptly (and in any case within ten (10) Business Days) after receiving a Walgreens Investor Rights Step-Up Event Notice take all action necessary (including by amending the organizational documents of the Company, if necessary) to cause one (1) additional Walgreens Designee to be appointed to the Board, such that the Board shall have two (2) Walgreens Directors.
(c) During the Walgreens Investor Rights Period, subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.1, including Section 1.1(d), and Section 1.2, at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected to the Board, the Company will nominate and use its reasonable best efforts (which shall, subject to Applicable Law, include including in any proxy statement used by the Company to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with any such meeting the recommendation of the Board that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the slate of directors) to cause the election to the Board of a slate of directors that includes (i) during the Walgreens Enhanced Investor Rights Period, two (2) Walgreens Designees or (ii) otherwise, one (1) Walgreens Designee.
(d) WBA shall notify the Company of the identity of any proposed Walgreens Designee, in writing, on or before the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of stockholders, together with all information about such proposed Walgreens Designee as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee (including, at a minimum, any information regarding such proposed Walgreens Designee to the extent required by applicable securities laws or for any other person nominated for election to the Board).
(e) Subject to Section 1.1(d) and Section 1.2, so long as no Walgreens Investor Rights Termination Event has occurred, in the event of (i) the death, disability, removal or resignation of a Walgreens Director, the Board will promptly appoint as a replacement Walgreens Director the Walgreens Designee designated by WBA to fill the resulting vacancy, or (ii) the failure of a Walgreens Designee to be elected to the Board at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such Walgreens Designee stood for election but was nevertheless not elected (such Walgreens Designee, a “Walgreens Specified Designee”), the Board will promptly appoint another Walgreens Designee designated by WBA to serve in lieu of such Walgreens Specified Designee as a Walgreens Director during the term that such Walgreens Specified Designee would have served had such Walgreens Specified Designee been elected at such meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and, in each case of clause (i) and clause (ii), such individual shall then be deemed a Walgreens Director for all purposes hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Board will remove any Walgreens Director without the prior written consent of WBA, unless such Walgreens Director is no longer eligible for designation as a member of the Board pursuant to Section 1.2 or to the extent necessary to remedy a breach of Section 1.5.
(f) The Company will at all times provide each Walgreens Director (in his or her capacity as a member of the Board) with the same rights to indemnification and exculpation that it provides to the other members of the Board. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any such indemnification obligations to indemnify or advance expenses to each Walgreens Director, in his or her capacity as such, for the matters covered by such indemnification obligations, shall be the primary source of indemnification and advancement of such Walgreens Director in connection therewith, and any obligation on the part of any Investor Indemnitor under any Investor Indemnification Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to such Walgreens Director shall be secondary to the Company’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that such Walgreens Director may collect as indemnification or advancement from the Company. In the event that the Company fails to indemnify or advance expenses to each Walgreens Director as required by such indemnification obligations and this Agreement (such unpaid amounts, the “Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts”), and any Investor Indemnitor makes any payment to such Walgreens Director in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses under any Investor Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts, such Investor Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of such Walgreens Director under this Agreement in respect of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts.
Board of Directors Meetings The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that meetings of its Board of Directors are held at least four times each year and at least once each quarter.
Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, vacancies occurring in any directorship (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Sponsor Stockholders Agreements. Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
