Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning):
1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises.
2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated.
3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch.
4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch).
2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases.
2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
SPECIALIZED JOB CLASSES Where there is a particular specialized job class in which the pay rate is below the local market value assessment of that job class, the parties may use existing means under the collective agreement to adjust compensation for that job class.
Availability Control Personal Data will be protected against accidental or unauthorized destruction or loss.
Transit Traffic 7.2.2.3.1 CenturyLink will accept traffic originated by CLEC’s network and/or its end user(s) for termination to other Telecommunications Carrier’s network and/or its end users that is connected to CenturyLink's Switch. CenturyLink will also terminate traffic from these other Telecommunications Carriers’ network and/or its end users to CLEC’s network and/or its end users. For purposes of the Agreement, transit traffic does not include traffic carried by Interexchange Carriers. That traffic is defined as Jointly Provided Switched Access.
7.2.2.3.2 The Parties involved in transporting transit traffic will deliver calls to each involved network with CCS/SS7 protocol and the appropriate ISUP/TCAP messages to facilitate full Interoperability and Billing functions.
7.2.2.3.3 The originating company is responsible for payment of appropriate rates to the transit company and to the terminating company. The Parties agree to enter into traffic exchange agreements with third party Telecommunications Carriers prior to delivering traffic to be transited to third party Telecommunications Carriers. In the event one Party originates traffic that transits the second Party’s network to reach a third party Telecommunications Carrier with whom the originating Party does not have a traffic exchange agreement, then the originating Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the second Party against any and all charges levied by such third party Telecommunications Carrier, including any termination charges related to such traffic and any attorneys fees and expenses. In the case of IntraLATA LEC Toll traffic where CenturyLink is the designated IntraLATA Toll provider for existing LECs, CenturyLink will be responsible for payment of appropriate usage rates.
7.2.2.3.4 When CenturyLink receives an unqueried call from CLEC to a telephone number that has been ported to another local services provider, the transit rate will apply in addition to any query rates.
7.2.2.3.5 In the case of a transit call that terminates in the Local Calling Area but in a different state than the call originated, and the CLEC does not have an agreement with CenturyLink in the state where the transit call terminated, CLEC must execute an agreement for that state if it is a state served by CenturyLink. In the absence of a second agreement, the transit rate in Exhibit A of this Agreement will be billed to the CLEC.
REDUCTION IN PERSONNEL A. If the Board desires to reduce the number of PSMs, the following procedures shall be used:
1. Voluntary layoffs will be accepted by the Board provided there remain PSMs who are State certified to fill the available positions.
2. If further reductions are made, NTPSMs shall be laid off according to seniority (least senior first), provided there remain NTPSMs who have State certifications, licenses, approvals, or authorizations, in the vacant positions.
B. Seniority shall be defined as length of continuous service in the district. Seniority shall not accrue while the PSM is on an unpaid leave.
C. In the circumstances of more than one (1) PSM beginning employment on the same date who is State certified in the same areas, the seniority date shall be the day the PSM signed the contract. In the circumstances of more than one (1) PSM signing their contract on the same day, all PSMs so affected will participate in a drawing to determine position on the seniority list within 30 days from the starting date. The Association and PSM(s) so affected will be notified in writing of the date, place and time of the drawing. The drawing shall be conducted openly and at a time and place which will reasonably allow affected PSM(s) and Association Representatives to be in attendance.
D. Any NTPSM on Layoff shall be recalled in inverse order of Layoff provided he/she is State certified for the vacancy. No new NTPSMs shall be employed by the Board while there are NTPSMs who were in the bargaining unit who are laid off, unless there are not laid off NTPSMs with proper State certification to fill any vacancy which may arise.
E. The Board shall give written notice of recall from Layoff by sending a return receipt requested or certified letter to said NTPSM at his/her last known address. It shall be the responsibility of each NTPSM to notify the Board of any change of address. The NTPSM’s address as it appears on the Board’s records shall be conclusive when used in connection with layoffs, recall or other notice to the NTPSM. NTPSMs shall forfeit their right to the position if they fail to notify the Board of their intent to accept or reject the terms of the recall notice within ten (10) days of the date the recall notice was mailed.
F. NTPSMs shall retain their recall rights for three (3) years from the last day of work.
G. In the event of a reduction of personnel, the affected teachers shall be given as
