Common use of Requests for Transfer Clause in Contracts

Requests for Transfer. All requests to be transferred to any vacancy shall be addressed to the Superintendent, listing the training, experience and skills possessed which qualify the employee for the vacancy. All qualified employees who apply and meet minimum qualifications, will be considered except where the position has been filled through recall from a reduction in force. The most qualified applicant will be awarded the position. This section shall not prohibit the Board from considering qualified external applicants for vacancies. No current employee shall be required to be tested for any position within their current classification. If the employee with the greatest district seniority who applies for a vacancy is not deemed the most qualified, the employee may ask for the reasons why with the emphasis on providing the employee with information so the employee can better his/her qualifications. When a current employee transfers to another position or classification which carries a higher compensation level, he/she will be placed on a step closest to a rate resulting in approximately a 5% increase in compensation. If the employee transfers to another position or classification within the District which carries a lower compensation level, he/she will be placed at the wage step of the new classification that will result in the least amount of decrease of hourly wage. After the filling of a particular vacancy, all such requests for transfer will be considered void.
