Role of Seniority in Promotions and Transfers The parties hereto agree that promotion shall be on the basis of qualification and seniority; in the event that applicants for a given position are similarly qualified, the position shall be awarded to the applicant with the greater seniority in the bargaining unit.
Role of Seniority in Lay-Offs Both parties recognize that job security shall increase in proportion to length of service. Therefore, in the event of a lay-off, Employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their seniority within the daycare centre, provided that the remaining jobs shall continue to be filled with qualified Employees.
Promotions Transfers VACANCIES
Role of Seniority in Layoffs (a) Both parties recognize that job security shall increase in proportion to length of service. Therefore, in the event of a layoff, employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their bargaining-unit-wide seniority, providing that the retained employees are able to perform the available work.
Role of Seniority A reduction in force shall be based on seniority within a department, discipline or specialty, provided that the senior staff have appropriate qualifications and are providing satisfactory service. Whenever possible, an employee shall be given an opportunity to serve the College in some other capacity for which he/she is qualified. This clause applies to all employees, including those on leave at time of reduction of staff.
PROMOTIONS AND SENIORITY Promotion in the VFRS shall be based on eligibility and on the candidate having the ability to perform the essential duties of the rank at the time of promotion. In cases where two candidates are relatively equal in their aggregate scores, the more senior member in the division will be ranked higher for the purpose of both promotion and acting assignments.
VACANCIES, PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS A. The Board recognizes that it is desirable in making assignments to consider the interests and aspirations of its teachers. Requests by a teacher for a transfer to a different class, building, or position shall be made in writing, one copy of which shall be filed with the Superintendent. Such requests shall be renewed once each year to assure active consideration by the Board. The Board will give serious consideration to such requests.
Promotions, Demotions and Transfers An employee who promotes to a position in a higher pay grade shall have his/her rate of pay adjusted to the lowest rate in the new grade which is at least five percent (5%) higher than the rate in the class from which promoted. The percentage will be calculated as five percent (5%) of the base rate plus the following pay premiums, when applicable: scheduled overtime (when part of an employee’s negotiated work schedule; if an employee promotes into a position with more scheduled overtime than the promoted-from position, the extra scheduled hours shall not count towards the five percent (5%) pay increase; for example, when an employee promotes from a position with 2.5 hours of negotiated scheduled overtime to a position with 4.0 hours of negotiated scheduled overtime, calculations will be based on 2.5 hours of scheduled overtime for both positions); medication administration stipend; appropriate state-paid retirement differential; and institutional stipend, provided that the employee is permanently assigned to work in a Correctional or Mental Health Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of the Bureau of Human Resources may consider exceptions pursuant to Civil Service Rules. An employee who demotes to a lower pay grade shall have his/her rate of pay adjusted to the highest rate in the new pay grade which is lower than the rate of the class from which the employee left, considering the same pay components listed above. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade) and remains within the same or equivalent salary schedule, his/her rate of pay will remain the same. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade), but moves from one salary schedule to another dissimilar salary schedule, his/her rate of pay will be adjusted to the closest step in the new salary schedule that does not result in a loss of pay, considering the same pay components listed above. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade) from any other bargaining unit to the Supervisory Services bargaining unit, his/her rate of pay will be adjusted to one step higher than the closest step in the new salary schedule that does not result in a loss of pay, considering the same pay components listed above. Determining the appropriate salary step upon promotion, demotion, or transfer may not result in a salary that is greater than the maximum or less than the minimum rates established in the salary schedule for the new classification. An employee who transfers to another position must remain in that position a minimum of six (6) months before he/she is eligible to apply for another transfer. This requirement does not apply to seasonal employees.
School-Initiated Closure Should the School choose to voluntarily surrender this Contract before the end of the Contract term, it may do so in consultation with the Commission at the close of any school year and upon written notice to the Commission given at least ninety (90) days before the end of the school year.
SENIORITY AND REDUCTION IN FORCE Section 1. Whenever a classified position is abolished, or a reduction in force becomes necessary, or an employee is laid off to create a vacancy for an employee moving from a higher classification, layoff shall be in reverse order of continuous service with the City.
