Seniority Benefit Clause Samples

Seniority Benefit. No employee assigned to patrol, hired after November 24, 2004 will have the ability to pick their three shifts all at once as was the past practice upon entering the Top 15. Rather, they will select patrol shifts using the “2-1 method” as all other patrol officers select their shifts. Employees hired on or before November 24, 2004 will be known as being "grandfathered into the Top 15" and may continue the past practice. There are three patrol deployments per year. Generally, January-April, May-August and September- December. The “2-1 method” refers to the number of shifts chosen within three deployments selected on a yearly basis. Officers, in order of seniority, will select a shift (day shift, night shift, beginning of week or end of the week) in two of the three deployment periods. The selection of shifts will move to the next senior officer who selects in the same fashion. The process will continue until all officers have selected a shift in two of the three deployments. Then the selection will return to the most senior officer, who will select a shift in the deployment the officer didn’t select earlier in the process. The next senior officer will select in the same fashion and so on, until all shifts are selected. By definition, as the process moves forward, fewer and fewer choices are available and less senior officer’s default to less desirable shifts and/or deployment periods. A. 3.a.

Job assignments which have a locational component and job assignment has traditionally been bid, seniority is a factor that must be taken into consideration but is not the deciding factor.
