RETRAINING AND REDEPLOYMENT Sample Clauses
RETRAINING AND REDEPLOYMENT. Every reasonable effort shall be made by the MCMC to redeploy an employee whose position is made redundant to another vacant position that the employee is or will become capable of performing with appropriate training. Where an employee needs retraining to take a redeployed position and is willing to undertake such training the MCMC in consultation with the employee will decide on any training required to fulfil the position. The vacant position(s) shall be identified by MCMC. Preference will be given to redeployment to a vacant position(s) at the same classification level. However, where the MCMC considers it impossible to offer an employee redeployment to a vacant position at the same classification level, the MCMC may offer redeployment to a vacant position at a lower classification level but will maintain the employee's existing rate of pay indefinitely. The MCMC shall make available to an employee all relevant information pertaining to the vacant positions; including duties, banding, responsibilities, reporting arrangements and work location. Any application by the employee for appointment to any position must be made within seven (7) working days of notification and provision of information related to the position. Where two (2) or more employees apply for the same position appointment shall be determined in accordance with the agreed selection procedures and practices of MCMC. Where an employee elects to transfer into a vacant position, the option of retrenchment will remain open for a period of two (2) months from the date of the transfer.
