Right to Return from a Term or Temporary Appointment. For an employee with a continuing appointment who is the successful candidate for a term or temporary position, the right to return to his/her former position must be approved by the employee’s manager and Vice-President prior to the commencement of the appointment. The Employer shall provide the employee with reasons in writing when the right to return is not approved. A copy of the letter shall be sent to the Union. Time worked during such an appointment will be counted towards the employee’s seniority. Where the employee has been granted the right to return, at the end of the term or temporary appointment the employee shall return to his or her former position without loss of seniority. If the employee=s former position no longer exists, the employee will be treated as if he or she were laid off from that position.
