Anniversary Dates Except as may otherwise be provided for in deep class resolutions, anniversary dates will be set as follows:
Seniority Dates Upon request, the Employer agrees to make available to the Union the seniority dates of any employees covered by this Agreement. Such seniority dates shall be subject to correction for error on proper representation by the Union.
Anniversary Date A regular employee’s initial date of current employment with the Employer as a regular employee shall be her anniversary date for the purpose of determining benefits and for the purpose of determining increment anniversary date. (Reference Article 6.05 - Superior Benefits and Article 12.03 - Increments).
Seniority Date Employees shall acquire seniority upon completion of the probationary period as defined in this Agreement and, upon acquiring seniority, the seniority date shall relate back to the first date of continuous service in a position governed by this Agreement. If more than one employee commences work on the same date, seniority ranking for such employees shall be determined by the School District.
Increment Dates 1. The increment date shall be the first of the month following the month in which applicable experience accumulation is achieved.
Starting Rates Each employee who enters the service of the Company shall begin employment at the Start Rate for the appropriate job title, except that appropriate allowance over such starting rate may be made by the Company for an employee who has had previous experience or training considered to be of value. When employees who have no prior training or experience are hired at a start rate that is higher than incumbents in the same title and work location, the wage rate of incumbents in that title and work location will be raised to the same rate of pay as the new hire.
Seniority Frozen When an Agency intends to initiate a layoff, the Agency will notify the Union in writing that all seniority will be frozen from the date of notice for a period not to exceed three (3) months. However, during the period when seniority is frozen, the employee will continue to accumulate time towards seniority for purposes of future computations. The three (3) month freeze may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Union and the Agency.
Breaks in Seniority Seniority shall be broken only by resignation, termination, retirement, discharge for just cause, failure to return upon expiration of a leave of absence, or failure to respond to a recall from layoff. Each of the above actions applies to separation from the State of Minnesota.
Break in Seniority Seniority shall be broken by:
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.
