Seniority Date Adjustments. An employee who held a position within the bargaining unit on the effective date of this Agreement will be assigned a seniority date as specified in Section 9.1, even if the employee previously held positions outside of the bargaining unit. An employee who held a position outside of the bargaining unit on the effective date of this Agreement and is thereafter offered and accepts a bargaining unit position, and an employee who held a bargaining unit position on that date and is thereafter offered and accepts a position outside of the bargaining unit and then later returns to the bargaining unit, will be given an adjusted seniority date. The adjustment will be done by moving the employee's date of hire (or former bargaining unit seniority date) forward by the number of calendar days the employee was in the non-unit position. The adjustments contemplated by this provision shall not apply to temporary assignments.
Seniority Date Adjustments. Rehires who return to work more than 180 calendar days following the last day of their previous employment period will be assigned a new seniority date, as specified in Section 9.1. Rehires who return to work within 180 calendar days following the last day of their previous employment period will be assigned the same seniority date as their previous period of employment. Employees will not accrue seniority during a layoff. An employee who has transferred out of the bargaining unit for a period of six (6) months or less and remains in the continuous employ of the District, may transfer back into the bargaining unit classification he/she held prior to transferring out of the bargaining unit. If the transfer of such a person back into the bargaining unit requires the layoff of a bargaining unit employee, the returning employee shall wait until the next eligible opening, which he/she shall immediately be placed into.
Seniority Date Adjustments. (a) Once an Employee completes the probationary period set forth in Article 20, his/her/their Company seniority date shall continue to be recorded and considered as the date the Employee last started work with the Employer.
