Notification of Vacancies A laid off employee shall be notified by certified mail of an appropriate vacancy, sent to the employee’s address on file in the office of the Executive Director for Human Resources Management. An employee’s failure to respond affirmatively in writing within five calendar days after receipt of the Employer’s letter shall cause loss of recall rights.
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.

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 is promoted or assumes a new position; he/she may be placed on trial for forty-five (45) workdays until he/she proves themselves capable of handling the new position.

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.
JOB VACANCIES 11.01 It is the desire of the Company to move regular employees to better paying or more desirable jobs as openings occur.

Employees receiving a job from a job posting will sign for that job classification and department, and at that time it will become his job classification and department. Displaced Skilled Trades employees may apply and receive a job in Schedule II without loss of recall rights to their job classification in Schedule I. Upon recall to Schedule I, the employee will then relinquish any recall rights to any job in Schedule II. Schedule I employees who receive a job posting in Schedule II may relinquish their recall rights to Schedule I by signing a waiver form at the time of the posting if they so desire.
(a) All jobs shall be posted within five (5) days of the permanent vacancy.
(b) Job vacancies will not be posted in the following cases:
(1) Temporary jobs.
(2) Job vacancies which have been posted in the previous one (1) month unless such a posting has been exhausted in which case a second posting shall be posted and exhausted before hiring from outside.
(3) While employees in the job classification in the department in which the vacancy occurs are on layoff or have been displaced.
(4) When an apprentice completes his apprenticeship he will be absorbed in his trade without a job posting, subject to his seniority.
11.02 In considering applications from regular employees for job postings, employees with seniority and qualifications will be given consideration on a plant-wide basis in filling such jobs. The senior applicant qualified to perform the job will be selected. Qualifications as applied to job postings shall mean such factors relating to job performance as physical fitness, skill and ability, licenses (where required) and past work record with the Company. Prior to the final selection of the successful job applicant, the Area Manager or appropriate department head, the Manager of Human Resources shall review all applications and communicate their decision to the President of the Association or the appropriate department representative.
